pseudo-random number generators #2

Open misael-diaz opened 3 years ago

misael-diaz commented 3 years ago

there's a plethora of pseudo-random number generators PRNGs to choose from. I have used Marsaglia's xorshift:32 before but it's worthwhile to explore this aspect in more detail to find PRNGs suitable for Brownian Dynamic Simulations. The TestU01 library might be a good place to look for statistical tests to determine the reliability of the PRNGs

you may want to look at FORTRAN's stdlib
