Errors in Monte Carlo Simulations Using Shift Register Random Number Generators
We report large systematic errors in Monte Carlo simulations of the tri-critical Blume-Capel model using single spin Metropolis updating. The error, manifest as a 20% asymmetry in the magnetisation distribution, is traced to the interplay between strong triplet correlations in the shift register random number generator and the large tricritical clusters. The effect of these correlations is visi...
متن کاملAnalysis of random number generators using Monte Carlo simulation
Monte Carlo simulation is one of the main applications involving the use of random number generators. It is also one of the best methods of testing the randomness properties of such generators, by comparing results of simulations using different generators with each other, or with analytic results. Here we compare the performance of some popular random number generators by high precision Monte ...
متن کاملFour-tap shift-register-sequence random-number generators
It is shown how correlations in the generalized feedback shift-register (GFSR) random-number generator are greatly diminished when the number of feedback taps is increased from two to four (or more) and the tap offsets are lengthened. Simple formulas for producing maximal-cycle four-tap rules from available primitive trinomials are given, and explicit threeand four-point correlations are found ...
متن کاملImproving Random Number Generators in the Monte Carlo simulations via twisting and combining
Problems for various random number generators accompanying the Wolff algorithm [U. Wolff, Phys. Rev. Lett. 62 (1989) 361; U. Wolff, Phys. Lett. B 228 (1989) 379] are discussed, including the hidden errors first reported in [A.M. Ferrenberg, D.P. Landau, Y.J. Wong, Phys. Rev. Lett. 69 (1992) 3382]. A general (though simple) method of twisting and combining for improving the performance of these ...
متن کاملPseudo-random number generators for Monte Carlo simulations on ATI Graphics Processing Units
Basic uniform pseudo-random number generators are implemented on ATI Graphics Processing Units (GPU). The performance results of the realized generators (multiplicative linear congruential (GGL), XOR-shift (XOR128), RANECU, RANMAR, RANLUX and Mersenne Twister (MT19937)) on CPU and GPU are discussed. The obtained speed-up factor is hundreds of times in comparison with CPU. RANLUX generator is fo...
