(Rik) Faith <faith@valinux.com> + * + * DESCRIPTION + * + * This file contains a simple, straightforward implementation of the Park + * & Miller "Minimal Standard" PRNG [PM88, PMS93], which is a Lehmer + * multiplicative linear congruential generator (MLCG) with a period of + * 2^31-1. + * + * This implementation is intended to provide a reliable, portable PRNG + * that is suitable for testing a hash table implementation and for + * implementing skip lists. + * + * FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS + * + * If initial seeds are not selected randomly, two instances of the PRNG + * can be correlated. [Knuth81, pp. 32-33] describes a shuffling technique + * that can eliminate this problem. + * + * If PRNGs are used for simulation, the period of the current + * implementation may be too short. [LE88] discusses methods of combining + * MLCGs to produce much longer periods, and suggests some alternative + * values for A and M. [LE90 and Sch92] also provide information on + * long-period PRNGs. + * + * REFERENCES + * + * [Knuth81] Donald E. Knuth. The Art of Computer Programming. Volume 2: + * Seminumerical Algorithms.
