It is the fastest full-period generator passing BigCrush without systematic failures, but due to the relatively short period it is acceptable only for applications with a mild amount of parallelism; otherwise, use a xorshift1024* generator. Beside passing BigCrush, this generator passes the PractRand test suite up to (and included) 16TB, with the exception of binary rank tests, which fail due to the lowest bit being an LFSR; all other bits pass all tests. We suggest to use a sign test to extract a random Boolean value. Note that the generator uses a simulated rotate operation, which most C compilers will turn into a single instruction. In Java, you can use Long.rotateLeft(). In languages that do not make low-level rotation instructions accessible xorshift128+ could be faster. The state must be seeded so that it is not everywhere zero. If you have a 64-bit seed, we suggest to seed a splitmix64 generator and use its output to fill s. */ uint64_t s[2]; static inline uint64_t rotl(const uint64_t x, int k) { return (x << k) | (x >> (64 - k)); } uint64_t next(void) { const uint64_t s0 = s[0]; uint64_t s1 = s[1]; const uint64_t result = s0 + s1; s1 ^= s0; s[0] = rotl(s0, 55) ^ s1 ^ (s1 << 14); // a, b s[1] = rotl(s1, 36); // c return result; } /* This is the jump function for the generator.
