The | The '''additive congruential random number generator''' ('''AC'''O'''RN''') <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0021-9991(89)90221-0 R. S. Wikramaratna "ACORN—A new method for generating sequences of uniformly distributed Pseudo-random Numbers", Journal of Computational Physics '''83''' pp. 16-31 (1989)]</ref> which is described in detail and with full references on the official web site http://ACORN.wikramaratna.org | ||
Advantages of ACORN (from http://ACORN.wikramaratna.org/critique.html): | |||
<li>extremely light-weight code (a few lines) with reproducible results in any high-level language and on any platform; </li> | |||
<li>theoretical convergence is mathematically proven; </li> | |||
<li>all current empirical test suites for PRNGs are passed; </li> | |||
<li>can be easily extended to give sequences with longer period length, and improved statistical performance over higher dimensions and with higher precision.</li> | |||
