public class WELL512
extends RandomStreamBase

This class implements the RandomStream interface via inheritance from RandomStreamBase. The backbone generator is a Well Equidistributed Long period Linear Random Number Generator (WELL), proposed by F. Panneton, and which has a state size of 512 bits and a period length of approximatively 2⁵¹². The values of V, W and Z are 2¹⁵⁰, 2²⁰⁰ and 2³⁵⁰ respectively (see RandomStream for their definition). The seed of the RNG, and the state of a stream at any given step, is a 16-dimensional vector of 32-bit integers.

Constructor Summary

WELL512()
Constructs a new stream.

WELL512(String name)
Constructs a new stream with the identifier name (used in the toString method).

Method Summary

WELL512	clone() Clones the current generator and return its copy.
int[]	getState() Returns the current state of the stream, represented as an array of 16 integers.
void	resetNextSubstream() Reinitializes the stream to the beginning of its next substream: Ng is computed, and Cg and Bg are set to Ng.
void	resetStartStream() Reinitializes the stream to its initial state Ig: Cg and Bg are set to Ig.
void	resetStartSubstream() Reinitializes the stream to the beginning of its current substream: Cg is set to Bg.
static void	setPackageSeed(int[] seed) Sets the initial seed of the class WELL512 to the 16 integers of the vector seed[0..15].
void	setSeed(int[] seed) This method is discouraged for normal use.
String	toString() Returns a string containing the current state of this stream.

Constructor Detail

WELL512

public WELL512()

Constructs a new stream.

WELL512

public WELL512(String name)

Constructs a new stream with the identifier name (used in the toString method).

Parameters:

name - name of the stream

Method Detail

setPackageSeed

public static void setPackageSeed(int[] seed)

Sets the initial seed of the class WELL512 to the 16 integers of the vector seed[0..15]. This will be the initial seed of the class of the next created stream. At least one of the integers must be non-zero.

Parameters:

seed - array of 16 elements representing the seed

setSeed

public void setSeed(int[] seed)

This method is discouraged for normal use. Initializes the stream at the beginning of a stream with the initial seed seed[0..15]. The seed must satisfy the same conditions as in setPackageSeed. This method only affects the specified stream; the others are not modified. Hence after calling this method, the beginning of the streams will no longer be spaced Z values apart. For this reason, this method should only be used in very exceptional cases; proper use of the reset... methods and of the stream constructor is preferable.

Parameters:

seed - array of 16 elements representing the seed

getState

public int[] getState()

Returns the current state of the stream, represented as an array of 16 integers.

Returns:

the current state of the stream

clone

public WELL512 clone()

Clones the current generator and return its copy.

Specified by:

clone in interface CloneableRandomStream

Overrides:

clone in class RandomStreamBase

Returns:

A deep copy of the current generator

resetStartStream

public void resetStartStream()

Description copied from interface: RandomStream

Reinitializes the stream to its initial state I_g: C_g and B_g are set to I_g.

Specified by:

resetStartStream in interface RandomStream

Specified by:

resetStartStream in class RandomStreamBase

resetStartSubstream

public void resetStartSubstream()

Description copied from interface: RandomStream

Reinitializes the stream to the beginning of its current substream: C_g is set to B_g.

Specified by:

resetStartSubstream in interface RandomStream

Specified by:

resetStartSubstream in class RandomStreamBase

resetNextSubstream

public void resetNextSubstream()

Description copied from interface: RandomStream

Reinitializes the stream to the beginning of its next substream: N_g is computed, and C_g and B_g are set to N_g.

Specified by:

resetNextSubstream in interface RandomStream

Specified by:

resetNextSubstream in class RandomStreamBase

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from interface: RandomStream

Returns a string containing the current state of this stream.

Specified by:

toString in interface RandomStream

Specified by:

toString in class RandomStreamBase

Returns:

the state of the generator formated as a string
