On the quality of random number generators with taps
نویسنده
چکیده
The large-scale simulations in statistical physics use some deterministic procedures to generate a sequence of uniformly distributed (pseudo)random numbers. It is possible to generate 10 numbers per second and 10 numbers in 100 days on the best processors. The widely known linear congruential methods cannot be used in a such simulations on 32-bit computers because of the short period T < 2 ≈ 10 of the generated sequence (1). The next most used class of generators are based on the linear recursion

Design of low power random number generators for quantum-dot cellular automata
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are a promising nanotechnology to implement digital circuits at the nanoscale. Devices based on QCA have the advantages of faster speed, lower power consumption, and greatly reduced sizes. In this paper, we are presented the circuits, which generate random numbers in QCA. Random numbers have many uses in science, art, statistics, cryptography, gaming, gambli...

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 کاملA Family of Hybrid Random Number Generators with Adjustable Quality and Speed
Conventional random number generators provide the speed but not necessarily the high quality output streams needed for large-scale stochastic simulations. Cryptographically-based generators, on the other hand, provide superior quality output but are often deemed too slow to be practical for use in large simulations. We combine these two approaches to construct a family of hybrid generators that...
متن کاملSccs-746 Tests of Random Number Generators Using Ising Model Simulations
Large-scale Monte Carlo simulations require high-quality random number generators to ensure correct results. The contrapositive of this statement is also true – the quality of random number generators can be tested by using them in large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. We have tested many commonly-used random number generators with high precision Monte Carlo simulations of the 2-d Ising model us...
