โœฆ Synopsis

A library containing highly portable implementations of most algorithms for (pseudo)random number generation has been developed, which might be used in any area of simulation which requires random number generators. Each generator is freely configurable by the user, so the RANEXP library is particularly well-suited for applications requiring different random number generators. The algorithms are implemented in C, but are callable from Fortran application program also.

It is now possible to do serious scientific work on personal computers (PC's). Many simulation studies, whether exploratory or for production runs, call for random numbers. We offer here a new kind of random number generator with implementation tailored specifically for PC's using Intel 8088/8086 or

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.
