Package it.unimi.dsi.util

Class XorShift1024StarRandom

java.lang.Object
java.util.Random
it.unimi.dsi.util.XorShift1024StarRandom
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, java.util.random.RandomGenerator
@Deprecated public class XorShift1024StarRandom extends Random
Deprecated.
Please use XorShift1024StarPhiRandom instead.
A fast, high-quality pseudorandom number generator that combines a long-period instance of George Marsaglia's Xorshift generators (described in “Xorshift RNGs”, Journal of Statistical Software, 8:1−6, 2003) with a multiplication.

Warning: before release 2.6.3, the split() method would not alter the state of the caller, and it would return instances initialized in the same way if called multiple times. This was a major mistake in the implementation and it has been fixed, but as a consequence the output of the caller after a call to split() is now different, and the result of split() is initialized in a different way.

      Creates a new generator seeded using Util.randomSeed().

    • XorShift1024StarRandom

      public XorShift1024StarRandom(long seed)

      Parameters:
      seed - a seed for the generator.

  • Method Details

    • next

      protected int next(int bits)
      Deprecated.
      Overrides:
      next in class Random

    • nextLong

      public long nextLong()
      Deprecated.
      Specified by:
      nextLong in interface java.util.random.RandomGenerator
      Overrides:
      nextLong in class Random

    • nextInt

      public int nextInt()
      Deprecated.
      Specified by:
      nextInt in interface java.util.random.RandomGenerator
      Overrides:
      nextInt in class Random

    • nextInt

      public int nextInt(int n)
      Deprecated.
      Specified by:
      nextInt in interface java.util.random.RandomGenerator
      Overrides:
      nextInt in class Random

    • nextLong

      public long nextLong(long n)
      Deprecated.
      Returns a pseudorandom uniformly distributed long value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive), drawn from this random number generator's sequence. The algorithm used to generate the value guarantees that the result is uniform, provided that the sequence of 64-bit values produced by this generator is.
      Parameters:
      n - the positive bound on the random number to be returned.
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom long value between 0 (inclusive) and n (exclusive).

    • nextDouble

      public double nextDouble()
      Deprecated.
      Specified by:
      nextDouble in interface java.util.random.RandomGenerator
      Overrides:
      nextDouble in class Random

    • nextFloat

      public float nextFloat()
      Deprecated.
      Specified by:
      nextFloat in interface java.util.random.RandomGenerator
      Overrides:
      nextFloat in class Random

    • nextBoolean

      public boolean nextBoolean()
      Deprecated.
      Specified by:
      nextBoolean in interface java.util.random.RandomGenerator
      Overrides:

      Overrides:
      nextBytes in class Random

    • jump

      public void jump()
      Deprecated.
      The jump function for this generator. It is equivalent to 2512 calls to nextLong(); it can be used to generate 2512 non-overlapping subsequences for parallel computations.

    • split

      public XorShift1024StarRandom split()
      Deprecated.
      Returns a new instance that shares no mutable state with this instance. The sequence generated by the new instance depends deterministically from the state of this instance, but the probability that the sequence generated by this instance and by the new instance overlap is negligible.

      Warning: before release 2.6.3, this method would not alter the state of the caller, and it would return instances initialized in the same way if called multiple times. This was a major mistake in the implementation and it has been fixed, but as a consequence the output of this instance after a call to this method is now different, and the returned instance is initialized in a different way.

      Returns:
      the new instance.

    • setSeed

      public void setSeed(long seed)
      Deprecated.
      Sets the seed of this generator.

      The argument will be used to seed a SplitMix64RandomGenerator, whose output will in turn be used to seed this generator. This approach makes “warmup” unnecessary, and makes the probability of starting from a state with a large fraction of bits set to zero astronomically small.

      Overrides:
      setSeed in class Random
      Parameters:
      seed - a seed for this generator.

    • setState

      public void setState(long[] state, int p)
      Deprecated.
      Sets the state of this generator.

      The internal state of the generator will be reset, and the state array filled with the provided array.

      Parameters:
      state - an array of 16 longs; at least one must be nonzero.
      p - the internal index.
