The additive congruential random number generator (ACORN) [1] 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):

  • extremely light-weight code (a few lines) with reproducible results in any high-level language and on any platform;
  • theoretical convergence is mathematically proven;
  • all current empirical test suites for PRNGs are passed;
  • can be easily extended to give sequences with longer period length, and improved statistical performance over higher dimensions and with higher precision.
