Description

The PCG family of Random Number Generators combines properties not previously seen together in the same generation scheme:

  • It's really easy to use, and yet its very flexible and offers powerful features (including some that allow you to perform silly party tricks).

  • It's very fast, and can occupy very little space.

  • It has small code size.

  • It's performance in statistical tests is excellent (see the PCG paper for full details).

  • It's much less predictable and thus more secure than most generators.

  • It's open source software, with a permissive license (the Apache license).

Install

Binary package:

pkgin install pcg

From pkgsrc:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/math/pcg && make install clean
