CPC, Mendeley A review of pseudorandom number generators Mendeley Data Abstract This is a brief review of the current situation concerning practical pseudorandom number generation for Monte Carlo calculations. The conclusion is that pseudorandom number generators with the required properties are now available, but the generators actually used are often not good enough. Portable Fortran code is given for three different pseudorandom number generators, all of which have much better properties than any of the traditional generators commonly supplied in most program librarie... Title of program: PSEUDORAN Catalogue Id: ABTK_v1_0 Nature of problem Any Monte Carlo calculation requiring uniform pseudorandom numbers.
