In addition to the standard * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info * interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is * then initialized to contain information for random number generation with * that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state * information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by * calling the setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized * with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state * information and generates far better random numbers than a linear * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. * * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of longs; the * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the * R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 longs worth of * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: * the zeroeth word of state information also has some other information * stored in it -- see setstate() for details). * * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that * way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will * have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being * used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive). The * higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also * influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The total * period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling * the amount of state information has a vast influence on the period of the * generator. Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for * large deg, when the period of the shift register is the dominant factor. * With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the * 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. * * Modified 28 December 1994 by Jacob S. Rosenberg. * The following changes have been made: * All references to the type u_int have been changed to unsigned long. * All references to type int have been changed to type long. Other * cleanups have been made as well. A warning for both initstate and * setstate has been inserted to the effect that on Sparc platforms * the 'arg_state' variable must be forced to begin on word boundaries. * This can be easily done by casting a long integer array to char *. * The overall logic has been left STRICTLY alone. This software was * tested on both a VAX and Sun SpacsStation with exactly the same * results. The new version and the original give IDENTICAL results. * The new version is somewhat faster than the original. As the * documentation says: "By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of * state information and generates far better random numbers than a linear * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used." For a buffer of * 128 bytes, this new version runs about 19 percent faster and for a 16 * byte buffer it is about 5 percent faster. */ /* * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. */ #define TYPE_0 0 /* linear congruential */ #define BREAK_0 8 #define DEG_0 0 #define SEP_0 0 #define TYPE_1 1 /* x**7 + x**3 + 1 */ #define BREAK_1 32 #define DEG_1 7 #define SEP_1 3 #define TYPE_2 2 /* x**15 + x + 1 */ #define BREAK_2 64 #define DEG_2 15 #define SEP_2 1 #define TYPE_3 3 /* x**31 + x**3 + 1 */ #define BREAK_3 128 #define DEG_3 31 #define SEP_3 3 #define TYPE_4 4 /* x**63 + x + 1 */ #define BREAK_4 256 #define DEG_4 63 #define SEP_4 1 /* * Array versions of the above information to make code run faster -- * relies on fact that TYPE_i == i. */ #define MAX_TYPES 5 /* max number of types above */ static long degrees[MAX_TYPES] = { DEG_0, DEG_1, DEG_2, DEG_3, DEG_4 }; static long seps [MAX_TYPES] = { SEP_0, SEP_1, SEP_2, SEP_3, SEP_4 }; /* * Initially, everything is set up as if from: * * initstate(1, randtbl, 128); * * Note that this initialization takes advantage of the fact that srandom() * advances the front and rear pointers 10*rand_deg times, and hence the * rear pointer which starts at 0 will also end up at zero; thus the zeroeth * element of the state information, which contains info about the current * position of the rear pointer is just * * MAX_TYPES * (rptr - state) + TYPE_3 == TYPE_3. */ static long randtbl[DEG_3 + 1] = { TYPE_3, #ifdef USE_WEAK_SEEDING /* Historic implementation compatibility */ /* The random sequences do not vary much with the seed */ 0x9a319039, 0x32d9c024, 0x9b663182, 0x5da1f342, 0xde3b81e0, 0xdf0a6fb5, 0xf103bc02, 0x48f340fb, 0x7449e56b, 0xbeb1dbb0, 0xab5c5918, 0x946554fd, 0x8c2e680f, 0xeb3d799f, 0xb11ee0b7, 0x2d436b86, 0xda672e2a, 0x1588ca88, 0xe369735d, 0x904f35f7, 0xd7158fd6, 0x6fa6f051, 0x616e6b96, 0xac94efdc, 0x36413f93, 0xc622c298, 0xf5a42ab8, 0x8a88d77b, 0xf5ad9d0e, 0x8999220b, 0x27fb47b9, #else /* !USE_WEAK_SEEDING */ 0x991539b1, 0x16a5bce3, 0x6774a4cd, 0x3e01511e, 0x4e508aaa, 0x61048c05, 0xf5500617, 0x846b7115, 0x6a19892c, 0x896a97af, 0xdb48f936, 0x14898454, 0x37ffd106, 0xb58bff9c, 0x59e17104, 0xcf918a49, 0x09378c83, 0x52c7a471, 0x8d293ea9, 0x1f4fc301, 0xc3db71be, 0x39b44e1c, 0xf8a44ef9, 0x4c8b80b1, 0x19edc328, 0x87bf4bdd, 0xc9b240e5, 0xe9ee4b1b, 0x4382aee7, 0x535b6b41, 0xf3bec5da #endif /* !USE_WEAK_SEEDING */ }; /* * fptr and rptr are two pointers into the state info, a front and a rear * pointer.
