Input Parameters

Name

Type

Description

method

INTEGER, INTENT(IN)

Generation method; the specific value is

VSL_RNG_METHOD_UNIFORMBITS64_STD

stream

TYPE (VSL_STREAM_STATE), INTENT(IN)

Descriptor of the stream state structure.

n

INTEGER, INTENT(IN)

Number of random values to be generated

Output Parameters

Name

Type

Description

r

INTEGER (KIND=8), INTENT(OUT)

Vector of n 64-bit random integer numbers with uniform bit distribution.

Description

The vRngUniformBits64 function generates uniformly distributed bits in 64-bit chunks. Unlike vRngUniformBits, which provides the output of underlying integer recurrence and does not guarantee uniform distribution across bits, vRngUniformBits64 is designed to ensure each bit in the 64-bit chunk is uniformly distributed. See VS Notes for details.
