="Joerg Arndt" <arndt@jjj.de> As some of us are interested in random number generation, I'd like to point to https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~oneill/ I'll unlike find time to read the paper (preprint as of now), so comments are welcome.
Comments? Heh, be careful what you wish for! I'll try to be brief, but this provokes a pet peeve (please delete if unfun)...
That was exactly the kind of comment I hoped for, thanks! regarding your suggestion, have you looked at Brent's shift-XOR paper(s)? http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/Magma2006/talks/Brent.pdf http://maths-people.anu.edu.au/~brent/pub/pub224.html The second is ref'd from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorshift Caveat: I personally never good deep enough into this to competently comment, I sent my message just because of my perceived interest of PRNGs on this list. Best regards, jj P.S.: I often wish Brent would be lurking here. This is one such occasion.
