Random number generators for MIMD parallel processors

Journal Article · · Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing; (USA)
The authors discuss and analyze issues related to the design of pseudorandom number generators (prn's) for MIMD (multiple instruction stream/multiple data stream) parallel processors, which are very well suited to Monte Carlo calculations. They are concerned with ensuring reproducibility of runs, providing very long sequences, and assuring an adequate degree of independence of the parallel streams.
