36 -- The implementation used in this package was contributed by Robert
37 -- Eachus. It is based on the work of L. Blum, M. Blum, and M. Shub, SIAM
38 -- Journal of Computing, Vol 15. No 2, May 1986. The particular choices for P
39 -- and Q chosen here guarantee a period of 562,085,314,430,582 (about 2**49),
40 -- and the generated sequence has excellent randomness properties. For further
41 -- details, see the paper "Fast Generation of Trustworthy Random Numbers", by
42 -- Robert Eachus, which describes both the algorithm and the efficient
43 -- implementation approach used here.
45 -- Formerly, this package was Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random. It is retained
46 -- here in part to allow users to reconstruct number sequences generated
47 -- by previous versions.
