## Abstract We have tested and compared several (pseudo) random number generators (RNGs) applied to a practical application, ground state energy calculations of molecules using variational and diffusion Monte Carlo metheds. A new multiple recursive generator with 8th‐order recursion (MRG8) and the
An efficient method to utilize the shift register pseudorandom numbers on vector processors is described. The generator can be used inline in a FORTRAN program, so that high performance is guaranteed for the total code. It is shown that the generator can treat two different types of configurations i
Parallel generation of random numbers on distributed memory multiprocessors is discussed. Conditions required for such a generator are enumerated, and a method based on a shift register sequence of random numbers is shown to satisfy all of these conditions. The method distributes to processors nonov
The theory underlying a proposed random number generator for numerical simulations in elementary particle physics and statistical mechanics is discussed. The generator is based on an algorithm introduced by Marsaglia and Zaman, with an important added feature leading to demonstrably good statistical
