HPL_rand - Man Page

random number generator.

Synopsis

#include "hpl.h"
 double HPL_rand();

Description

HPL_rand generates  the next number  in the  random  sequence.  This function  ensures  that this number lies in the interval (-0.5, 0.5].
 The static array irand contains the information (2 integers) required to generate the  next number  in the sequence  X(n).  This  number is computed as X(n) = (2^32 * irand[1] + irand[0]) / d - 0.5,  where the constant d is the largest 64 bit positive integer. The array irand is then  updated  for the generation of the next number  X(n+1)  in  the random sequence as follows X(n+1) = a * X(n) + c. The constants a and c  should have been preliminarily stored in the arrays ias and ics as 2 pairs of integers.  The initialization of  ias,  ics and  irand  is performed by the function HPL_setran.
