Public Member Functions
	Xoshiro256ppGenerator (int igseed=default_random_seed, int niter=50)
	The constructor can start or restart the generator.
	Xoshiro256ppGenerator (const ullint4 state_in)
double	uniformRandomNumber ()
	Return a single random number distributed over a uniform distribution [0, 1). This is an internal generator based on an integer vector state which will provide reproducible results across platforms.
float	spUniformRandomNumber ()
	Return a single random number distributed over a uniform distribution [0, 1), in single-precision. While the XOR-shift random generators have a distinct method for producing single-precision random numbers (selecting the highest-quality bits), this merely calls uniformRandomNumber() and exists for compatibility with the other generators in templated xxxxRand() functions.
double	gaussianRandomNumber ()
	Return a normally distributed random number with standard deviation 1.0. This works off of the uniform random number generator and will thus advance the state vector of the random number generator that produces the result.
float	spGaussianRandomNumber ()
	Produce a single-precision random number on the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1.0. Like spUniformRandomNumber(), this function merely calls gaussianRandomNumber() and exists for compatibility with other random number generators in templated functions.
void	jump ()
	Jump forward 2^128 iterations in the sequence.
void	longJump ()
	Jump forward 2^192 iterations in the sequence.
ullint4	revealState () const
	Reveal the current state of the generator.
ullint	revealBitString () const
	Reveal the random bit string.
void	setState (const ullint4 state_in)
	Set the current state of the generator.

Detailed Description

The "Xoshiro256++" random number generator. While not cryptographically useful, it is a rock-solid random number generator for both floating-point and 64-bit integer results.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Xoshiro256ppGenerator()

stormm::random::Xoshiro256ppGenerator::Xoshiro256ppGenerator	(	int	igseed = default_random_seed,
		int	niter = 50 )

The constructor can start or restart the generator.

Overloaded:

• Initialize the generator upon construction.
• Take the given state.

Parameters

igseed	The pseudo-randome number seed
niter	Number of iterations to run through while equilibrating the generator
state_in	State to accept
