Physical tests for Random Numbers in Simulations
I. Vattulainen, T. Ala-Nissila, K. Kankaala
We propose three physical tests to measure correlations in random numbers used in Monte Carlo simulations. The first test uses autocorrelation times of certain physical quantities…
Influence of Implementation on the Properties of Pseudorandom Number Generators with a Carry Bit
I. Vattulainen, K. Kankaala, J. Saarinen +1
We present results of extensive statistical and bit level tests on three implementations of a pseudorandom number generator algorithm using the lagged Fibonacci method with an occa…
A Comparative Study of Some Pseudorandom Number Generators
I. Vattulainen, K. Kankaala, J. Saarinen +1
We present results of an extensive test program of a group of pseudorandom number generators which are commonly used in the applications of physics, in particular in Monte Carlo si…
Hidden Errors in Simulations and the Quality of Pseudorandom Numbers
I. Vattulainen, K. Kankaala, J. Saarinen +1
We have carried out extensive statistical, bit level and visual tests of several random number generators used in the applications of physics. Two of the generators tested were rec…
