The par­ti­cle track­ing code Zgoubi [*] has been used for a broad array of ac­cel­er­a­tor de­sign stud­ies, in­clud­ing FFAGs and EICs [**]. Zgoubi is cur­rently being used to eval­u­ate pro­posed de­signs for both JLEIC and eRHIC [***], and to pre­pare for com­mis­sion­ing the CBETA BNL-Cor­nell FFAG re­turn loop ERL [****]. More­over, Zgoubi is now the sub­ject of a Phase II SBIR aimed at im­prov­ing its speed, flex­i­bil­ity, and ease-of-use. In this paper, we de­scribe our on-go­ing work on sev­eral fronts: (i) par­al­leliz­ing Zgoubi using new fea­tures of For­tran 2018, in­clud­ing coar­rays [*****]; (ii) im­ple­ment­ing a new par­ti­cle up­date al­go­rithm that re­quires sig­nif­i­cantly less mem­ory and arith­metic; and (iii) de­vel­op­ing sym­plec­tic track­ing for field maps. In ad­di­tion, we de­scribe plans for a web-based graph­i­cal in­ter­face to Zgoubi.
