* Package name : haskell-mwc-random Version : 0.5.0.0 Upstream Author : Bryan O'Sullivan <b...@serpentine.com> * URL : http://darcs.serpentine.com/mwc-random * License : BSD3 Programming Lang: Haskell Description : Fast, high quality pseudo random number generation This package provides a library for the Haskell programming language. See http://www.haskell.org/ for more information on Haskell. . This package contains code for generating high quality random numbers that follow either a uniform or normal distribution. The generated numbers are suitable for use in statistical applications. . The uniform PRNG uses Marsaglia's MWC256 (also known as MWC8222) multiply-with-carry generator, which has a period of 2^8222 and fares well in tests of randomness. It is also extremely fast, between 2 and 3 times faster than the Mersenne Twister. . Compared to the mersenne-random package, this package has a more convenient API, is faster, and supports more statistical distributions. This is a dependency for haskell-criterion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
