SPRNG: A SCALABLE LIBRARY FOR PSEUDORANDOM NUMBER GENERATION
1999
Recent Advances in Numerical Methods and Applications II
In this article we outline some methods for parallel pseudorandom number generation. We will focus on methods based on parameterization, meaning that we will not consider splitting methods. We describe parameterized versions of the following pseudorandom number generators: (i) linear congruential generators, (ii) shift-register generators, and (iii) lagged-Fibonacci generators. We brie y describe the methods, detail some advantages and disadvantages of each method and recount results from
