Additive Congruential Random Number (ACORN) generators represent an approach to generating uniformly distributed pseudo-random numbers that is straightforward to implement efficiently for arbitrarily large order and modulus; if it is implemented using integer arithmetic, it becomes possible to gener
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.
