Class RandomSeedTable

java.lang.Object

cern.jet.random.tdouble.engine.RandomSeedTable

public class RandomSeedTable
extends Object

(Seemingly gigantic) table of good seeds for pseudo-random number generators.

Implementation:

This is a port of SeedTable.h used in CLHEP 1.4.0 (C++). CLHEP's implementation, in turn, is part of GEANT 4, a C++ simulation toolkit for High Energy Physics. Geant4, in turn, took the table from the original FORTRAN77 implementation of the HEP CERN Library routine RECUSQ. Each sequence has a period of 10**9 numbers.
