摘要
We present a random number generator that is useful for serious computations and can be implemented easily in any language that has 32-bit signed integers, for example C, C++ and FORTRAN. This combination generator has a cycle length that would take two millennia to compute on widely used desktop computers. Based on an extensive search, we provide parameter values better than those previously available for this generator. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
