name: mwc-random version: 0.7.0.0 x-revision: 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: http://darcs.serpentine.com/mwc-random author: Bryan O'Sullivan maintainer: Bryan O'Sullivan copyright: 2009, 2010 Bryan O'Sullivan category: Math, Statistics build-type: Simple cabal-version: >= 1.2 extra-source-files: README benchmarks/Benchmark.hs benchmarks/Quickie.hs library exposed-modules: System.Random.MWC build-depends: base < 5, primitive < 0.6, time, vector >= 0.5 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
