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…

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…
