Generates random numbers uniformly distributed over the interval [a, b).

Description

The oneapi::mkl::rng::uniform class object is used in oneapi::mkl::rng::generate functions to provide random numbers uniformly distributed over the interval [a, b), where a, b are the left and right bounds of the interval respectively, and a, b∈Z; a < b.

The probability distribution is given by:

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

Syntax

template<typename Method>
class uniform<std::(u)int32_t, Method> {
public:
  using method_type = Method;
  using result_type =  std::(u)int32_t;
  uniform(): uniform((std::(u)int32_t )(0),
                std::is_same<Method,
                uniform_method::standard>::value ? (1 << 23)
                :std::numeric_limits<Type>::max()){}
  explicit uniform(std::(u)int32_t a,  std::(u)int32_t b);
  explicit uniform(const param_type& pt);
  std::(u)int32_t a() const;
  std::(u)int32_t b() const;
  param_type param() const;
  void param(const param_type& pt);

Template Parameters

typename Method = oneapi::mkl::rng::uniform_method::by_default

Generation method. The specific values are as follows:

oneapi::mkl::rng::uniform_method::standard

oneapi::mkl::rng::uniform_method::accurate

See brief descriptions of the methods in Distributions Template Parameter Method.

NOTE:

The oneapi::mkl::rng::uniform_method::standard uses the s BRNG type on GPU devices. This might cause the produced numbers to have incorrect statistics (due to rounding error) when

. To get proper statistics for this case, use the oneapi::mkl::rng::uniform_method::accurate method instead.
