R250

This is a generalized feedback shift register generator:

Feedback shift register generators possess ample theoretical foundation and were initially intended for cryptographic and communication applications. Physicists widely use R250 generator, as it is simple and fast in implementation. However, this generator fails in some types of tests, one of which is the 2D Self-Avoiding Random Walk Test.

Real Implementation (Single and Double Precision)

The output vector is the sequence of the floating-point values u0, u1, ...

Integer Implementation

The output vector of 32-bit integers x0, x1, ...

Stream Initialization by Function vslNewStream

R250 generates the stream and initializes it specifying the input 32-bit integer parameter seed. The stream state is the array of 250 32-bit integers x-250, x-249, x-1, initialized in the following way:

  1. If seed = 0, assume seed = 1. Assume x-250 = seed.

  2. Initialize x-249, ..., x0 according to recurrent correlation xn +1 = 69069xn(mod232).

  3. Interpret the values x7k-247, k = 0, 1, ..., 31 as a binary matrix of size 32x32 and perform the following: set the diagonal bits to 1, and the under-diagonal bits to 0.

Stream Initialization by Function vslNewStreamEx

R250 generates a stream and initializes it specifying the array n of 32-bit integer params[]:

  1. If n ≥ 0, assume xk-250 = params[k], k=0,1,...,249.

If n = 0, assume seed = 1, and perform the initialization as described in the above section on stream initialization by the function vslNewStream.

NOTE:

  1. The tabulated data is obtained using the one-level (threshold) testing technique. The OK result indicates FAIL < 50%. The run fails when p-value falls outside the interval [0.05, 0.95].

  2. The stream tested is generated by calling the function vslNewStream with seed=7,777,777.
