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.
