Detailed Description

This class generates random numbers (in fact pseudo-random numbers).

The generator used is the 64-bits generator LFSR258 from L'Ecuyer [19] with period length near \(2^{258}\) for 64-bits machines, and the 32-bits generator LFSR113 from L'Ecuyer [19] with period length near \(2^{113}\) on 32-bits machines. Thus the random numbers generated will be different on 32-bits and 64-bits machines.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Random()

LatticeTester::Random::Random

(

)

Constructor using a default seed for the generator.

One may reset the seed by calling setSeed.

Member Function Documentation

randInt()

int LatticeTester::Random::randInt	(	int	i,
		int	j
	)

Return a random integer in \([i, j]\).

The numbers \(i\) and \(j\) can occur. Restriction: \(i < j\).

randU01()

double LatticeTester::Random::randU01

(

)

Returns a random number in \([0, 1)\).

The number has 53 random bits of resolution on 64-bits machines, and 32 random bits on 32-bits machines.

setSeed()

void LatticeTester::Random::setSeed

(

std::uint64_t

seed

)

Sets the seed of the generator.

If not called, a default seed is used.
