Gilles commented on RNG-104:
----------------------------
Thanks.
+1 to use XorShift1024SPhi
+1 to synchronize on the recommended block size. I guess that if fewer values
are needed than the block size, the rest is discarded (?). How does it impact
the time before wrapping around? ;-)

> The SeedFactory is used to create seeds for the random generators. To ensure
> thread safety this uses synchronized blocks around a single generator. The
> current method only generates a single int or long per synchronisation.
> Analyze the performance of this approach. The analysis will investigate
> generating multiple values inside each synchronisation around the generator.
> This analysis will also investigate methods to supplement the SeedFactory
> with fast methods to create seeds. This will use a fast seeding method to
> generate a single long value. This can be a seed for a SplitMix generator
> used to create a seed of any length.
