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

To parallelize applications that require the use of random numbers, an efficient and good quality parallel random number generator is required. In this paper, we study the parallelization of lagged Fibonacci generators for distributed memory parallel computers. Two popular ways of generating a rando

The feasibility of random number generation using microcomputers is discussed and the appropriateness of alternative algorithms is evaluated on the basis of several criteria of statistical randomness. The relative deficiencies of each algorithm are cited and a modified Fibonacci generator is recomme

A commonly used uniform random-number generator is examined in light of a genetic-simulation problem. Although this generator is often useful, it proves defective in this case. The author suggests that any proposed generator be checked for the properties needed by the simulation problem at hand.
