gmx::ExponentialDistribution< RealType > Class Template Reference

#include <gromacs/random/exponentialdistribution.h>

Description

template<class RealType = real>
class gmx::ExponentialDistribution< RealType >

Exponential distribution.

The C++ standard library does provide an exponential distribution, but even though they all sample from a correct distribution, different standard library implementations appear to return different sequences of numbers for the same random number generator. To make it easier to use GROMACS unit tests that depend on random numbers we have our own implementation.

Template Parameters
RealTypeFloating-point type, real by default in GROMACS.
