Description

template<unsigned int internalCounterBits = 64>
class gmx::ThreeFry2x64Fast< internalCounterBits >

ThreeFry2x64 random engine with 13 iteractions.

Template Parameters
internalCounterBits,default64.

This class provides relatively high quality random numbers that only fail one BigCrush test, and it is a bit faster than the 20-round version. It works with two 64-bit values each for keys and counters, and is most efficient when we only need a few random values before restarting the counters with new values.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<unsigned int internalCounterBits = 64>
gmx::ThreeFry2x64Fast< internalCounterBits >::ThreeFry2x64Fast ( uint64_t  key0 = 0,
RandomDomain  domain = RandomDomain::Other 
)
inline

Construct ThreeFry random engine with 2x64 key values, 13 rounds.

Parameters
key0Random seed in the form of a 64-bit unsigned value.
domainRandom domain. This is used to guarantee that different applications of a random engine inside the code get different streams of random numbers, without requiring the user to provide lots of random seeds. Pick a value from the RandomDomain class, or RandomDomain::Other if it is not important. In the latter case you might want to use gmx::DefaultRandomEngine instead.
Note
The random domain is really another 64-bit seed value.
Exceptions
InternalErrorif the high bits needed to encode the number of counter bits are nonzero.
template<unsigned int internalCounterBits = 64>
gmx::ThreeFry2x64Fast< internalCounterBits >::ThreeFry2x64Fast ( uint64_t  key0,
uint64_t  key1 
)
inline

Construct ThreeFry random engine from 2x64-bit unsigned integers, 13 rounds.

This constructor assigns the raw 128 bit key data from unsigned integers. It is meant for the case when you want full control over the key, for instance to compare with reference values of the ThreeFry function during testing.

Parameters
key0First word of key/random seed.
key1Second word of key/random seed.
Exceptions
InternalErrorif the high bits needed to encode the number of counter bits are nonzero. To test arbitrary values, use 0 internal counter bits.
