Software/Hardware Framework for Generating Parallel Long-Period Random Numbers Using the WELL Method
FPL '11: Proceedings of the 2011 21st International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications

The Well Equidistributed Long-period Linear (WELL) algorithm is proven to have better characteristics than the Mersenne Twister (MT), one of the most widely used long-period pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). In this paper, we propose a hardware ...
Testing parallel random number generators

Monte Carlo computations are considered easy to parallelize. However, the results can be adversely affected by defects in the parallel pseudorandom number generator used. A parallel pseudorandom number generator must be tested for two types of ...
Extremely portable random number generator

Extremely portable subroutines are sometimes needed for which moderate quality and efficiency suffice. Typically, this occurs for library functions (like random number generation and incore sorting) which are not entirely universal or are not used in a ...
