name: mwc-random version: 0.10.0.1 synopsis: Fast, high quality pseudo random number generation description: This package contains code for generating high quality random numbers that follow either a uniform or normal distribution. The generated numbers are suitable for use in statistical applications. . The uniform PRNG uses Marsaglia's MWC256 (also known as MWC8222) multiply-with-carry generator, which has a period of 2^8222 and fares well in tests of randomness. It is also extremely fast, between 2 and 3 times faster than the Mersenne Twister. . Compared to the mersenne-random package, this package has a more convenient API, is faster, and supports more statistical distributions. license: BSD3 license-file: LICENSE homepage: https://github.com/bos/mwc-random bug-reports: https://github.com/bos/mwc-random/issues author: Bryan O'Sullivan maintainer: Bryan O'Sullivan copyright: 2009, 2010, 2011 Bryan O'Sullivan category: Math, Statistics build-type: Simple cabal-version: >= 1.6 extra-source-files: README.markdown benchmarks/*.hs benchmarks/Quickie.hs benchmarks/mwc-random-benchmarks.cabal library exposed-modules: System.Random.MWC build-depends: base < 5, primitive, time, vector >= 0.6.0.2 if impl(ghc >= 6.10) build-depends: base >= 4 -- gather extensive profiling data for now ghc-prof-options: -auto-all ghc-options: -Wall -funbox-strict-fields if impl(ghc >= 6.8) ghc-options: -fwarn-tabs source-repository head type: git location: git://github.com/bos/mwc-random source-repository head type: mercurial location: https://bitbucket.org/bos/mwc-random
