No, but it seems George Marsaglia posted a new prng called KISS4691 to sci.math last saturday :) KISS4691 has an immense period (larger than 10**45000), and Marsaglia claims it can produce 138 million pseudorandom ints per second. That puts it far ahead of MT19937both in terms of period and speed. http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math/msg/dc9ad178113a30fd _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
