Gilles created RNG-32:
-------------------------
Summary: Implement more generators
Key: RNG-32
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-32
Project: Commons RNG
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Gilles
Priority: Minor
Commons RNG is focused on pure-Java implementations of standard deterministic
generators.
Quite a few algorithms could be added, but priority is on fast generators that
generate sequences of _pseudo-random_ numbers; i.e. the requirement is strong
_uniformity_, but *not* strong _unpredictability_ (a.k.a. _true_ random
numbers).
In particular, in Commons RNG, there is no provision for using an external
entropy pool.
Beware that some well-known (and much used) algorithms have been proven to fail
spectacularly on the uniformity requirement.
Would-be contributors should look at the {{commons-rng-core}} module for how to
implement a generator, and at the {{commons-rng-examples}} module for how to
test the uniformity requirement.
