+# ARTSS
+Accelerated Based Real Time Smoke Simulation
+
+ARTSS is a real-time and prognosis capable CFD code basis simulating buoyancy-driven turbulent smoke spread
+based on finite differences and a large eddy simulation turbulence model, being performance portable on CPU
+and GPU contained in one expandable, open source code, successfully verified using unit, analytical and
+semi-analytical tests, and successfully validated with scenarios relevant for fire protection. 
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Requirements
+The serial CPU version of ARTSS can be compiled on Linux or OS X systems with very few tools, 
+whereas the multicore and GPU version need an OpenACC capable compiler. 
+Detailed requirements are listed in the table below (general requirements for serial version, specific for multicore and GPU version).
