ACORN generator proposed recently […] is in fact equivalent to a MLCG with matrix A such that a~ = 1 for i 2 j, aq = 0 otherwise" [10] but the analysis is not taken further. ACORN is not the same as ACG (Additive Congruential Generator) and should not be confused with it - ACG appears to have been used for a variant of the LCG ( Linear ...
Default generator in R and the Python language starting from version 2.3. Xorshift: 2003 G. Marsaglia [26] It is a very fast sub-type of LFSR generators. Marsaglia also suggested as an improvement the xorwow generator, in which the output of a xorshift generator is added with a Weyl sequence.
RDRAND (for "read random") is an instruction for returning random numbers from an Intel on-chip hardware random number generator which has been seeded by an on-chip entropy source. [1] It is also known as Intel Secure Key Technology , [ 2 ] codenamed Bull Mountain . [ 3 ]
Fortuna is a family of secure PRNGs; its design leaves some choices open to implementors. It is composed of the following pieces: The generator itself, which once seeded will produce an indefinite quantity of pseudo-random data.
The paper claims improved equidistribution over MT and performance on an old (2008-era) GPU (Nvidia GTX260 with 192 cores) of 4.7 ms for 5×10 7 random 32-bit integers. The SFMT (SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister) is a variant of Mersenne Twister, introduced in 2006, [9] designed to be fast when it runs on 128-bit SIMD.
A random 32×32 binary matrix is formed, each row a 32-bit random integer. The rank is determined. That rank can be from 0 to 32, ranks less than 29 are rare, and their counts are pooled with those for rank 29. Ranks are found for 40000 such random matrices and a chi square test is performed on counts for ranks 32, 31, 30 and ≤ 29.
The generator computes an odd 128-bit value and returns its upper 64 bits. This generator passes BigCrush from TestU01, but fails the TMFn test from PractRand. That test has been designed to catch exactly the defect of this type of generator: since the modulus is a power of 2, the period of the lowest bit in the output is only 2 62, rather than ...
In Python, a generator can be thought of as an iterator that contains a frozen stack frame. Whenever next() is called on the iterator, Python resumes the frozen frame, which executes normally until the next yield statement is reached. The generator's frame is then frozen again, and the yielded value is returned to the caller.
