It is close in speed to a scrambled linear generator, as its only 128-bit operations are a multiplication and sum; it is an excellent generator based on congruential arithmetic. As all MWC generators, it simulates a multiplicative LCG with prime modulus m = 0xffebb71d94fcdaf8ffffffffffffffff and multiplier given by the inverse of 2^64 modulo m. The modulus has a particular form, which creates some theoretical issues, but at this size a generator of this kind passes all known statistical tests, except for very large size birthday-spacings tests in three dimensions (as predicted from the theory). These failures are unlikely to have any impact in practice. For a generator of the same type with stronger theoretical guarantees, consider a Goresky-Klapper generalized multiply-with-carry generator. Alternatively, applying a xorshift to the result (i.e., returning x ^ (x << 32) instead of x) will eliminate the birthday-spacings failures. Note that a previous version had a different MWC_A1. Moreover, now the result is computed using the current state. */ #define MWC_A1 0xffebb71d94fcdaf9 /* The state must be initialized so that 0 < c < MWC_A1 - 1.
