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
