Gilles commented on RNG-57:
---------------------------
bq. shows that the parentState == null is never hit at the moment.
Indeed. I changed that yesterday but forgot to {{git push}}...
It's now in "master".
> CachedUniformRandomProvider for nextBoolean() and nextInt()
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RNG-57
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-57
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: sampling
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Reporter: Alex D Herbert
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: performance
>
> Implement a wrapper around a {{UniformRandomProvider}} that can cache the
> underlying source of random bytes for use in the methods {{nextBoolean()}}
> and {{nextInt()}} (in the case of {{LongProvider}}). E.g.
> {code:java}
> LongProvider provider = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.SPLIT_MIX_64);
> CachedLongProvider rng = new CachedLongProvider(provider);
> // Uses cached nextLong() 64 times
> rng.nextBoolean();
> // Uses cached nextLong() twice
> rng.nextInt();
> IntProvider provider = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.KISS);
> CachedIntProvider rng2 = new CachedIntProvider(provider);
> // Uses cached nextInt() 32 times
> rng2.nextBoolean();
> // This could be wrapped by a factory method:
> UniformRandomProvider rng = CachedUniformRandomProviderFactory.wrap(
> // Any supported source: IntProvider or LongProvider
> RandomSource.create(RandomSource...));
> {code}
> The implementation should be speed tested to determine the benefit for
> {{nextBoolean()}} and if {{nextInt()}} can be improved for {{LongProviders}}.
