This paper describes the architecture of a prototype I built at Sun
back in 1995 for a random number generating service that ran in user
land. It
I have never seen a good catalog of computationally-strong

Chapter 3 of Knuth's TAOCP is all about pseudo-random number
generators, starting with a fine example of the wrong way to do it.
My copy is several thousand miles away but my recollection is that his

their own in whatever application they are using, and I bet there's a
lot of waste and inefficiency and re-inventing the wheel involved.
If this true, or is there a
