Detailed Description

Structure for encapsulating the random number generator.

Depending on the environment, this uses the appropriate implementation / library to generate random numbers. The following is the list of supported environment (C macro) and its math library.

• USE_FUJITSU_FCC_SSL : Fujitsu SSL II
• USE_INTEL_MKL : Intel MKL (Math Kernel Library)
• Others : dSFMT (double precision SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister)

ytRNG_delete()

void ytRNG_delete

(

ytRNG *

rng

)

Releases the resources allocated for the ytRNG instance.

Parameters

rng	ytRNG instance to be deleted.

Go to Top

ytRNG_integer()

void ytRNG_integer	(	ytRNG *	rng,
		int *	ar,
		int	n,
		int	min,
		int	max )

Generates integer random numbers.

This generates integer random numbers ranging [min,max).

Parameters

rng	Intitialized ytRNG instance.
ar	Array in which the generated random numbers are stored.
n	Numbers of random number to generate.
min	Lower bound of the random values (inclusive).
max	Upper bound of the random values (exclusive).

ytRNG_new()

ytRNG * ytRNG_new

(

)

Generates an ytRNG instance.

Call ytRNG_set_seed() to initialize the random number generator.

Call ytRNG_delete() to release the resources allocated by this routine.

Returns

Newly generated ytRNG instance.

ytRNG_normal()

void ytRNG_normal	(	ytRNG *	rng,
		double *	ar,
		int	n,
		double	mean,
		double	sigma )

Generates the normally distributed random numbers.

The appropriate algorithm is selected based on the environment.

• Fujitsu C Compiler + SSL II Math Libarary : c_dvran3().
• Others: Original routine based on random() in the standard C library.

Parameters

rng	Initialized ytRNG instance.
ar	Array in which the generated random numbers are stored.
n	Number of random numbers to generate.
mean	Mean of the normal distribution.
sigma	Standard deviation of the normal distribution.

ytRNG_perm()

void ytRNG_perm	(	ytRNG *	rng,
		int *	ar,
		int	n )

Generates an integer random permuation vector.

This generates an random permutation ranging from 0 to n − 1.

Parameters

[in]	rng	Initialized ytRNG instance.
[out]	ar	Array in which the generated random permuation vector is stored.
	[int]	n Length of the permutation vector.

ytRNG_setSeed()

void ytRNG_setSeed	(	ytRNG *	rng,
		int	seed )

Initializes the random number generator.

The appropriate algorithm is selected based on the environment.

• Fujitsu C Compiler + SSL II Math Libarary : c_dvrau4() and c_dvran3().
• Others: random() in the standard C library.

In Fujitsu SSL II library, 0 cannot be specified as the seed. Thus, if 0 is specified, it is regarded as 1.

Parameters

rng	ytRNG instance to be initialized.
seed	Seed of the random number generator.

Go to Top

ytRNG_shuffle()

void ytRNG_shuffle	(	ytRNG *	rng,
		int *	ar,
		int	n )

Shuffles the elements of the integer array.

This shuffles the order of elements in the given integer array.

Parameters

[in]	rng	Initialized ytRNG instance.
[in,out]	ar	Array in which the order of the elements are shuffled.
[in]	n	Length of the array.

ytRNG_uniform()

void ytRNG_uniform	(	ytRNG *	rng,
		double *	ar,
		int	n,
		double	min,
		double	max )

Generates the normally distributed random numbers.

The appropriate algorithm is selected based on the environment.

• Fujitsu C Compiler + SSL II Math Libarary : c_dvran3().
• Intel MKL : vdRngUniform().
• Others: dSFMT.

Parameters

rng	Initialized ytRNG instance.
ar	Array in which the generated random numbers are stored.
n	Number of random numbers to generate.
min	Lower bound of the uniform distribution.
max	Upper bound of the uniform distribution.
