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