A classical reference for fast generation of random numbers under various
distributions is

Lorrain, D. 1980. *"A Panoply of Stochastic 'Cannons'."* Computer Music
Journal 4(1)

The common shortcut to Gaussian random sequences is to sum some number of
uniform variates, usually 12, for each Gaussian output.
