Struct xoshiro::Xoshiro512StarStar

pub struct Xoshiro512StarStar { /* fields omitted */ }

A xoshiro512** random number generator.

The xoshiro512** algorithm is not suitable for cryptographic purposes, but is very fast and has excellent statistical properties.

The algorithm used here is translated from the xoshiro512starstar.c reference source code by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna.

Methods

impl Xoshiro512StarStar

pub fn from_seed_u64(seed: u64) -> Xoshiro512StarStar

Seed a Xoshiro512StarStar from a u64 using SplitMix64.

pub fn jump(&mut self)

Jump forward, equivalently to 2^256 calls to next_u64().

This can be used to generate 2^256 non-overlapping subsequences for parallel computations.

use rand::SeedableRng;
use xoshiro::Xoshiro512StarStar;

let rng1 = Xoshiro512StarStar::from_seed_u64(0);
let mut rng2 = rng1.clone();
rng2.jump();
let mut rng3 = rng2.clone();
rng3.jump();

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Xoshiro512StarStar

fn clone(&self) -> Xoshiro512StarStar

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Xoshiro512StarStar

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl RngCore for Xoshiro512StarStar

fn next_u32(&mut self) -> u32

Return the next random u32.

fn next_u64(&mut self) -> u64

Return the next random u64.

fn fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8])

Fill dest with random data.

fn try_fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Fill dest entirely with random data.

impl SeedableRng for Xoshiro512StarStar

type Seed = Seed512

Seed type, which is restricted to types mutably-dereferencable as u8 arrays (we recommend [u8; N] for some N).

fn from_seed(seed: Seed512) -> Xoshiro512StarStar

Create a new Xoshiro512StarStar. If seed is entirely 0, it will be mapped to a different seed.

fn seed_from_u64(state: u64) -> Self

Create a new PRNG using a u64 seed.

fn from_rng<R>(rng: R) -> Result<Self, Error> where     R: RngCore,

Create a new PRNG seeded from another Rng.
