A family of enhanced Lehmer random number generators, with hyperplane suppression, and direct support for certain physical applications
Description
Abstract Over two hundred congruential pseudorandom number generators, each with a different multiplier, are built into a single assembler routine that returns 32-bit integer and floating-point values. This gives a Monte Carlo user the opportunity of selecting a combination of sequences, so as to provide a greater appearance of chaos. The software makes use of extended 64-bit arithmetic on Intel 386/387 (or higher) chips, thus attaining a period of 2^(62)for each of the individual generators. The r...
