63 * random.c:
64 *
65 * An improved random number generation package. In addition to the standard
66 * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
67 * interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
68 * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is
69 * then initialized to contain information for random number generation with
70 * that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state
71 * information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by
72 * calling the setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized
73 * with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state
74 * information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
75 * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than
76 * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used.
77 *
78 * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of longs; the
79 * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small
80 * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the
81 * R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 longs worth of
82 * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note:
83 * the zeroeth word of state information also has some other information
84 * stored in it -- see setstate() for details).
85 *
86 * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register
87 * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that
88 * way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in
89 * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will
90 * have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being
91 * used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive). The
92 * higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also
93 * influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The total
94 * period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling
95 * the amount of state information has a vast influence on the period of the
96 * generator. Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for
97 * large deg, when the period of the shift register is the dominant factor.
98 * With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the
99 * 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula.
100 */
101
102/*
103 * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
104 * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this
105 * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree
106 * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
107 * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial.
