The word can be anywhere from 1 letter, to 1000000 (The highest we have tested.)
With the parallelization, we noticed almost no some increase in speed. Upon further experimentation, we realized that out memcopy's were what took up all the speed. When looking at the time taken for the search itself when going through the kernel, we noticed an almost 100% increase in speed. If we are able to speed up the memcopy's we will be able to further increase the speed of the program.
The speed up times of the searches are below (including the Memcpy's).

Search Time: - took - <u>0.006000 012000 secs</u>
You found a letter! Isn't that exciting!
