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