dqrng: Fast Pseudo Random Number Generators (original) (raw)

Several fast random number generators are provided as C++ header only libraries: The PCG family by O'Neill (2014 <https://www.cs.hmc.edu/tr/hmc-cs-2014-0905.pdf>) as well as the Xoroshiro / Xoshiro family by Blackman and Vigna (2021 <doi:10.1145/3460772>). In addition fast functions for generating random numbers according to a uniform, normal and exponential distribution are included.
