== Progress ==
=== Assignment 1 ===
We began by profiling two things: a string-comparison algorithm, and a program which develops quasi-random visuals from an initial seed.
====Justin's Findings====
String comparison was not a good choice. If anything, it makes more sense to do string comparison in a serial fashion than in parallel. Comparing two strings of over 13,000 characters each in such a fashion as to force the algorithm to compare them all just barely results in a runtime of 0.001 seconds.
====Chad's Profiling Findings====
Chad, fill this in.
'''Analysis:'''
Of our two selections, the choice to move forward with the pattern generator is clear.
'''Difficulties Met:'''
One apparent difficulty is the need to port the pattern-generator from Javascript into C in order to make use of CUDA.
'''Summary:'''
* String comparison is not an efficient use of parallel programming practises.
'''Resources:'''
