See [random] for the newer version. ---- This is a package that provides an alternative pseudo-random number generator based upon the Mersenne Twister PRNG algorithm ([http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/~matumoto/emt.html], [http://www.coyotegulch.com/algorithm/libcoyote/TwistedRoad/TwistedRoad.html])'''(Both links are 404 on 2012-06-10)'''. This PRNG has an enormous period (in fact it is 2**19937-1 which is a Mersenne Prime, hence the name). It is also suposedly faster than the standard C library rand() function. Furthermore, while the stock Tcl rand function generates numbers in the range (0,1) - randmt produces numbers in the range [[0,1]]. If required, it can also produce values within (0,1) as well as integer values (any 32bit value) - we would just need some names for these functions. Currently the code is available at cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.tclsoap.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tclsoap co RandMT and the distributable files are at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclsoap in the downloads section. <> Mathematics | Package | Broken Links
