xoroshiro
Xoroshiro is a family of pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) designed for high performance and statistical quality. Developed by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna, the Xoroshiro generators emphasize speed, simplicity, and robustness, making them suitable for applications such as simulations, gaming, and scientific computing.
The core mechanism of Xoroshiro involves bitwise operations, primarily XOR and shifts, on internal state variables.
Xoroshiro generators are known for their fast execution on modern hardware due to their simple arithmetic
The design of Xoroshiro emphasizes linear operations to achieve high throughput, but it requires careful initialization
Overall, Xoroshiro is regarded as an efficient and reliable general-purpose PRNG, widely adopted in various software
