85 /* An improved random number generation package. In addition to the standard
86 rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
87 interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
88 bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is
89 then initialized to contain information for random number generation with
90 that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state
91 information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by
92 calling the setstate() function with the same array as was initiallized
93 with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state
94 information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
95 congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than
96 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. Internally, the
97 state information is treated as an array of longs; the zeroeth element of
98 the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small integer); the remainder
99 of the array is the state information for the R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of
100 state information will give 7 longs worth of state information, which will
101 allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: The zeroeth word of state
102 information also has some other information stored in it; see setstate
103 for details). The random number generation technique is a linear feedback
104 shift register approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms
105 to sum up that way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all
106 the numbers in the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register,
107 and will have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial
108 being used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive).
109 The higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are
110 also influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The
111 total period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus
112 doubling the amount of state information has a vast influence on the
113 period of the generator. Note: The deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation
114 only good for large deg, when the period of the shift register is the
115 dominant factor. With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much
116 longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. */
120 /* For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
121 break value on the amount of state information (you need at least thi
122 bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree for
123 the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
124 separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. */
