            Bug ID: 91414
           Summary: Improved PRNG
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jb at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Currently GFortran uses the xorshift1024* PRNG. The author of that PRNG has an
improved PRNG "xoshiro" at http://prng.di.unimi.it/ , described in detail at
https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.01407 . GFortran could (should?) switch to this
improved algorithm.
