Detailed Description

Namespace containing simple wrappers around the C++11 random number generators and distributions.

Enumeration Type Documentation

RandomDistribution

enum strumpack::random::RandomDistribution

strong

The random number distribution.

Enumerator
NORMAL	Normal(0,1) distributed numbers, takes roughly 23 flops per random number.
UNIFORM	Uniform [0,1] distributed numbers takes about 7 flops per random number.

RandomEngine

enum strumpack::random::RandomEngine

strong

Random number engine.

Enumerator
LINEAR	The C++11 std::minstd_rand random number generator.
MERSENNE	The C++11 std::mt19937 random number generator.
