It's fast, clean, splittable (you need splitting whenever you are dealing with independent random sources and don't want to spend a lot of entropy on them, not just for parallel processing), and works well on both 32-bit CPUs (with 64-bit floats) and 64-bit CPUs. I have not seen any indication that MRG32k3a has been broken. -- John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders. --Hal Abelson
