2 This is a maximally equidistributed combined Tausworthe generator
3 based on code from GNU Scientific Library 1.5 (30 Jun 2004)
5 x_n = (s1_n ^ s2_n ^ s3_n)
7 s1_{n+1} = (((s1_n & 4294967294) <<12) ^ (((s1_n <<13) ^ s1_n) >>19))
8 s2_{n+1} = (((s2_n & 4294967288) << 4) ^ (((s2_n << 2) ^ s2_n) >>25))
9 s3_{n+1} = (((s3_n & 4294967280) <<17) ^ (((s3_n << 3) ^ s3_n) >>11))
11 The period of this generator is about 2^88.
