چکیده

Fast and reliable pseudo-random number generators are required for simulation and other applications in Scientific Computing. We outline the requirements for good uniform random number generators, and describe a class of generators having very fast vector/parallel implementations with excellent statistical properties. We also discuss the problem of initialising random number generators, and consider how to combine two or more generators to give a better (though usually slower) generator.

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...

On the Reliability of Random Number Generators

In this paper we discuss major problems related to reliability of random number generators used for simulation studies. We propose the decimals of π as the most reliable random number generator as compared to certain real normal numbers as well as all families of pseudorandom number generators. A new property that a random number generator must have is introduced. Two applications are discussed.

Random Number Generation and Simulation on Vector and Parallel Computers (extended Abstract) Rpb185 Typeset Using L a T E X2e 2

Pseudo-random numbers are often required for simulations performed on parallel computers. The requirements for parallel random number generators are more stringent than those for sequential random number generators. As well as passing the usual sequential tests on each processor, a parallel random number generator must give diierent, independent sequences on each processor. We consider the requ...
