Hi Dirk,

sorry for reposting. I thought this was specifically about getting the second 
approach of Matteo run in the same way as the first one.

Yeah, the RNG thing is something I myself haven't yet figured totally out. 
Especially in regard to Matteo's note, that the final task should run in 
parallel: I would strongly discourage his approach.

Usually a cycle of an RNG isn't exhausted in a simulation. So what one can do 
is to run a for loop in parallel and increase the seed in every iteration from 
0 to (index* number of generated values). But for this one has 
to know exactly how much random values are produced. Otherwise it is rather 
undefined what happens. Here I would like to refer to another discussion on the 
list: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04861.html,
 where Yan and you (next to Chris and Conrad) gave very 
good input. 


Best

Simon
