Class L32X64Mix

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RandomIntSource, org.apache.commons.rng.JumpableUniformRandomProvider, org.apache.commons.rng.LongJumpableUniformRandomProvider, org.apache.commons.rng.RestorableUniformRandomProvider, org.apache.commons.rng.SplittableUniformRandomProvider, org.apache.commons.rng.UniformRandomProvider

    public final class L32X64Mix
    extends IntProvider
    implements org.apache.commons.rng.LongJumpableUniformRandomProvider, org.apache.commons.rng.SplittableUniformRandomProvider
    A 32-bit all purpose generator.

    This is a member of the LXM family of generators: L=Linear congruential generator; X=Xor based generator; and M=Mix. This member uses a 32-bit LCG and 64-bit Xor-based generator. It is named as "L32X64MixRandom" in the java.util.random package introduced in JDK 17; the LXM family is described in further detail in:

    Steele and Vigna (2021) LXM: better splittable pseudorandom number generators (and almost as fast). Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages, Volume 5, Article 148, pp 1–31.

    Memory footprint is 128 bits and the period is 232 (264 - 1).

    This generator implements LongJumpableUniformRandomProvider. In addition instances created with a different additive parameter for the LCG are robust against accidental correlation in a multi-threaded setting. The additive parameters must be different in the most significant 31-bits.

    This generator implements SplittableUniformRandomProvider. The stream of generators created using the splits methods support parallelisation and are robust against accidental correlation by using unique values for the additive parameter for each instance in the same stream. The primitive streaming methods support parallelisation but with no assurances of accidental correlation; each thread uses a new instance with a randomly initialised state.

      • L32X64Mix

        public L32X64Mix​(int[] seed)
        Creates a new instance.
        Parameters:
        seed - Initial seed. If the length is larger than 4, only the first 4 elements will be used; if smaller, the remaining elements will be automatically set. A seed containing all zeros in the last two elements will create a non-functional XBG sub-generator and a low quality output with a period of 232.

        The 1st element is used to set the LCG increment; the least significant bit is set to odd to ensure a full period LCG. The 2nd element is used to set the LCG state.

      • L32X64Mix

        public L32X64Mix​(int seed0,
                         int seed1,
                         int seed2,
                         int seed3)
        Creates a new instance using a 4 element seed. A seed containing all zeros in the last two elements will create a non-functional XBG sub-generator and a low quality output with a period of 232.

        The 1st element is used to set the LCG increment; the least significant bit is set to odd to ensure a full period LCG. The 2nd element is used to set the LCG state.

        Parameters:
        seed0 - Initial seed element 0.
        seed1 - Initial seed element 1.
        seed2 - Initial seed element 2.
        seed3 - Initial seed element 3.
    • Method Detail

      • next

        public int next()
        Return the next random value.
        Specified by:
        next in interface RandomIntSource
        Returns:
        the next random value.
      • jump

        public org.apache.commons.rng.UniformRandomProvider jump()
        Creates a copy of the UniformRandomProvider and then retreats the state of the current instance. The copy is returned.

        The jump is performed by advancing the state of the LCG sub-generator by 1 cycle. The XBG state is unchanged. The jump size is the equivalent of moving the state backwards by (264 - 1) positions. It can provide up to 232 non-overlapping subsequences.

        Specified by:
        jump in interface org.apache.commons.rng.JumpableUniformRandomProvider
      • longJump

        public org.apache.commons.rng.JumpableUniformRandomProvider longJump()
        Creates a copy of the UniformRandomProvider and then retreats the state of the current instance. The copy is returned.

        The jump is performed by advancing the state of the LCG sub-generator by 216 cycles. The XBG state is unchanged. The jump size is the equivalent of moving the state backwards by 216 (264 - 1) positions. It can provide up to 216 non-overlapping subsequences of length 216 (264 - 1); each subsequence can provide up to 216 non-overlapping subsequences of length (264 - 1) using the jump() method.
