Gilles commented on RNG-16:
---------------------------
bq The generator is defined by the protocol
Ah, OK. Then, if every client software has to implement a generator (if the
language provides a different one), then why not have the protocol define a
good generator?
But maybe that the protocol cannot be changed anymore...
> Linear congruential generators
> ------------------------------

> Key: RNG-16
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-16
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
> Priority: Minor
>
> This is a RFE for implementing linear congruential generators:
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator
> This type of random generator is often used in language runtimes (Borland C,
> GCC, Delphi, VB and even Java). Preconfigured generators using the same
> parameters as these languages would be convenient for reproducing the same
> number sequences in Java.
