--- Comment #5 from Joseph Rushton Wakeling <[email protected]> 2013-07-08 06:09:36 PDT --- (In reply to comment #4) > I have to agree. > Closed. Just to note, for future reference -- the Xorshift generators have been criticized by other authors on a number of grounds -- see e.g.: http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1113316.1113319 [PDF preprint copy: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.63.7497&rep=rep1&type=pdf ] However, there are some successors which look promising: http://arxiv.org/abs/1004.3115 [This work was originally published in an Australian journal but the preprint copy seems to be the only one readily available.] So, I think there is future scope for replacing MT with a faster, simpler and high-quality algorithm. I also recently came across some further work extending MT to work with SIMD and GPU implementations, which might be worth looking into: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~saito/articles/sfmt.pdf http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.4973v3 -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
