public abstract class AbstractWell
extends Object
implements Serializable

This abstract class implements the WELL class of pseudo-random number generator from François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto.

This generator is described in a paper by François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto Improved Long-Period Generators Based on Linear Recurrences Modulo 2 ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 32, 1 (2006). The errata for the paper are in wellrng-errata.txt.

index

protected int index

Current index in the bytes pool.

v

protected final int[] v

Bytes pool.

Constructor Details

AbstractWell

protected AbstractWell(int k)

Creates a new random number generator.

The instance is initialized using the current time plus the system identity hash code of this instance as the seed.

Parameters:

k - number of bits in the pool (not necessarily a multiple of 32)

AbstractWell

protected AbstractWell(int k,
 int seed)

Creates a new random number generator using a single int seed.

Parameters:

k - number of bits in the pool (not necessarily a multiple of 32)

seed - the initial seed (32 bits integer)

AbstractWell

protected AbstractWell(int k,
 int[] seed)

Creates a new random number generator using an int array seed.

Parameters:

k - number of bits in the pool (not necessarily a multiple of 32)

seed - the initial seed (32 bits integers array), if null the seed of the generator will be related to the current time

AbstractWell

protected AbstractWell(int k,
 long seed)

Creates a new random number generator using a single long seed.

Parameters:

k - number of bits in the pool (not necessarily a multiple of 32)

seed - the initial seed (64 bits integer)

Method Details

setSeed

Reinitialize the generator as if just built with the given int array seed.

The state of the generator is exactly the same as a new generator built with the same seed.

Specified by:
