This version is a recode * by Shawn Cokus (Cokus@math.washington.edu) on March 8, 1998 of a version by * Takuji Nishimura (who had suggestions from Topher Cooper and Marc Rieffel in * July-August 1997). * * Effectiveness of the recoding (on Goedel2.math.washington.edu, a DEC Alpha * running OSF/1) using GCC -O3 as a compiler: before recoding: 51.6 sec. to * generate 300 million random numbers; after recoding: 24.0 sec. for the same * (i.e., 46.5% of original time), so speed is now about 12.5 million random * number generations per second on this machine. * * According to the URL * (and paraphrasing a bit in places), the Mersenne Twister is ``designed * with consideration of the flaws of various existing generators,'' has * a period of 2^19937 - 1, gives a sequence that is 623-dimensionally * equidistributed, and ``has passed many stringent tests, including the * die-hard test of G. Marsaglia and the load test of P. Hellekalek and * S. Wegenkittl.'' It is efficient in memory usage (typically using 2506 * to 5012 bytes of static data, depending on data type sizes, and the code * is quite short as well). It generates random numbers in batches of 624 * at a time, so the caching and pipelining of modern systems is exploited. * It is also divide- and mod-free. * * This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it * under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation (either version 2 of the License or, at your * option, any later version).
