-# C++ Project Template
-When setting out on a new project in C++ there are a few configuration steps
-which need to be completed prior to actually getting down to writing code.
-This repository is going to be a C++ project template that already has the
-following components:

-- API Documentation (Doxygen)
+CudaCAC is a Cuda accelerated implementation of the Concurrent Atomistic-Continuum (CAC) method.
 
+## Background
+
+### Molecular Dynamics
+
+Molecular dynamics (MD) is a computer simulation method for analyzing the physical movements of atoms and molecules. The atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a fixed period of time, giving a view of the dynamic evolution of the system. In the most common version, the trajectories of atoms and molecules are determined by numerically solving Newton's equations of motion for a system of interacting particles, where forces between the particles and their potential energies are often calculated using interatomic potentials or molecular mechanics force fields.
+
+### Concurrent Atomistic-Continuum (CAC) Method
+
+The Concurrent Atomistic-Continuum (CAC) method is a multiscale modeling technique used for simulating materials at the nano and micro-scale. It partitions a simulation into a coarse-grained domain and an atomistic domain. This allows for the detailed, fully-resolved atomistic simulation of important regions, like those with lattice defects, while more efficiently modeling the rest of the material as a continuum. A key feature of the CAC method is its use of a unified set of governing equations and interatomic potentials across both the atomistic and continuum domains. This avoids the need for complex coupling procedures at the interface of the two regions.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+This project leverages a high-performance computing stack for its simulations:
+
+*   **C++:** The core application logic is written in modern C++, providing a balance of performance and high-level abstractions.
+*   **CUDA:** NVIDIA's CUDA platform is used to accelerate the computationally intensive parts of the simulation on the GPU.
+*   **CMake:** A cross-platform build system used to manage the compilation and linking of the project.
+*   **Google Test:** A testing framework for writing C++ tests.
+*   **Doxygen:** A documentation generator for C++ code.
+
