one step closer

We managed to get the code with parallelization to work using a small ruleset (the regular one times out/uses too much memory on the machine that it is running on).

There are a few current caveats that we have to work out:
1) We have not been able to get the command that sets the number of threads to work yet, right now it just uses the default of 2.
2) We will need to test to make sure that the new code is semantically equivalent to the original code
3) We will need to test the multi-threaded version to see how it performs
4) We may need to make changes that limit the number of threads that are created by the program
