54 /* An improved random number generation package. In addition to the standard
55 rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
56 interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
57 bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is
58 then initialized to contain information for random number generation with
59 that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state
60 information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by
61 calling the setstate() function with the same array as was initiallized
62 with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state
63 information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
64 congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than
65 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. Internally, the
66 state information is treated as an array of longs; the zeroeth element of
67 the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small integer); the remainder
68 of the array is the state information for the R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of
69 state information will give 7 longs worth of state information, which will
70 allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: The zeroeth word of state
71 information also has some other information stored in it; see setstate
72 for details). The random number generation technique is a linear feedback
73 shift register approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms
74 to sum up that way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all
75 the numbers in the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register,
76 and will have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial
77 being used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive).
78 The higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are
79 also influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The
80 total period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus
81 doubling the amount of state information has a vast influence on the
82 period of the generator. Note: The deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation
83 only good for large deg, when the period of the shift register is the
84 dominant factor. With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much
85 longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. */
89 /* For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
90 break value on the amount of state information (you need at least thi
91 bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree for
92 the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
93 separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. */
