Gilles updated RNG-32:
----------------------
Labels: contributors gsoc2019 scope (was: contributors gsoc2018 scope)
> 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
> Labels: contributors, gsoc2019, scope
> Attachments: lsf.java

>
> 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.
