31 /* An improved random number generation package. In addition to the standard
32 rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
33 interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
34 bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is
35 then initialized to contain information for random number generation with
36 that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state
37 information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by
38 calling the setstate() function with the same array as was initialized
39 with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state
40 information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
41 congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than
42 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. Internally, the
43 state information is treated as an array of longs; the zeroth element of
44 the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small integer); the remainder
45 of the array is the state information for the R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of
46 state information will give 7 longs worth of state information, which will
47 allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: The zeroth word of state
48 information also has some other information stored in it; see setstate
49 for details). The random number generation technique is a linear feedback
50 shift register approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms
51 to sum up that way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all
52 the numbers in the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register,
53 and will have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial
54 being used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive).
55 The higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are
56 also influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The
57 total period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus
58 doubling the amount of state information has a vast influence on the
59 period of the generator. Note: The deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation
60 only good for large deg, when the period of the shift register is the
61 dominant factor. With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much
62 longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. */
66 /* For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
67 break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this many
68 bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree for
69 the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
70 separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. */
