Deterministic parallel random-number generation for dynamic-multithreading platforms
Existing concurrency platforms for dynamic multithreading do not provide repeatable parallel random-number generators. This paper proposes that a mechanism called pedigrees be bui...

Random Number Generation Based on Oscillatory Metastability in Ring Circuits
: Random number generator designs are discussed, which utilize oscillatory metastability, induced  by switching between two stable states of ring‐connected di...

On the Security of Oscillator-Based Random Number Generators
Physical random number generators (a.k.a. TRNGs) appear to be critical components of many cryptographic systems. Yet, such building blocks are still too seldom provided with a form...

A meta-level true random number generator
: True random number generators (TRNGs) are extensively used in cryptography, simulations and statistics. In this work, we introduce, extend and analyse the concept of the randomis...

Source Codes as Random Number Generators
—A random number generator generates fair coin flips by processing deterministically an arbitrary source of nonideal randomness. An optimal random number generator generates asy...

Lattice computations for random numbers
We improve on a lattice algorithm of Tezuka for the computation of the k-distribution of a class of random number generators based on finite fields. We show how this is applied to ...

Software for uniform random number generation: distinguishing the good and the bad
The requirements, design principles, and statistical testing approaches of uniform random number generators for simulation are briefly surveyed. An objectoriented random number pa...

FPGA-optimised high-quality uniform random number generators
This paper introduces a method of constructing random number generators from four of the basic primitives provided by FPGAs: Flip-Flips, Lookup-Tables, Shift Registers, and RAMs. ...

A plug-in-based architecture for random number generation in simulation systems
Simulations often depend heavily on random numbers, yet the impact of random number generators is recognized seldom. The generation of random numbers for simulations is not trivia...

Tuning the Collision Test for Power
The collision test is an important statistical test for rejecting poor random number generators. The test simulates the throwing of balls randomly into urns. A problem in applying...
