50 * random.c:
51 *
52 * An improved random number generation package. In addition to the standard
53 * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
54 * interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
55 * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is
56 * then initialized to contain information for random number generation with
57 * that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state
58 * information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by
59 * calling the setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized
60 * with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state
61 * information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
62 * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than
63 * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used.
64 *
65 * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of uint32_t's; the
66 * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small
67 * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the
68 * R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 ints worth of
69 * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note:
70 * the zeroeth word of state information also has some other information
71 * stored in it -- see setstate() for details).
72 *
73 * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register
74 * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that
75 * way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in
76 * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will
77 * have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being
78 * used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive). The
79 * higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also
80 * influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The total
81 * period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling
82 * the amount of state information has a vast influence on the period of the
83 * generator. Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for
84 * large deg, when the period of the shift is the dominant factor.
85 * With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the
86 * 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula.
87 *
88 * Modified 28 December 1994 by Jacob S. Rosenberg.
89 * The following changes have been made:
90 * All references to the type u_int have been changed to unsigned long.
91 * All references to type int have been changed to type long. Other
92 * cleanups have been made as well. A warning for both initstate and
93 * setstate has been inserted to the effect that on Sparc platforms
94 * the 'arg_state' variable must be forced to begin on word boundaries.
95 * This can be easily done by casting a long integer array to char *.
96 * The overall logic has been left STRICTLY alone. This software was
97 * tested on both a VAX and Sun SpacsStation with exactly the same
98 * results. The new version and the original give IDENTICAL results.
99 * The new version is somewhat faster than the original. As the
100 * documentation says: "By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of
101 * state information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
102 * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than
103 * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used." For a buffer of
104 * 128 bytes, this new version runs about 19 percent faster and for a 16
105 * byte buffer it is about 5 percent faster.
106 */
107
108/*
109 * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
110 * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this
111 * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree
112 * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
113 * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial.
