Abstract A program code TrackKing for a 6D fully-coupled particle tracking in circular accelerators has been developed with the usage of parallel computations on Graphics Processing Units (GPU) with Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). We can track several thousands of particles in parallel providing optical functions calculation, dynamic aperture and energy acceptance study, intrabeam scattering, radiation effects (including their realistic distribution along the lattice), etc. In the paper we discuss the code arrangement and compare its performance with PTC module of MAD-X.
