libmath-random-tt800-perl 1.01-4build1 (riscv64 binary) in ubuntu lunar
Math::
Nishimura's pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) algorithm called TT800. It is
similar to some other fantastic PRNG algorithms such as the Mersenne Twister
(see libmath-
particular implementation is particularly notable because it has no external
dependencies aside from Perl itself.
.
The algorithm itself is described in Matsumoto's article published in ACM
Transactions on Modelling and Computer Simulation, Volume 4, Issue 3, 1994,
pages 254-266.
.
This algorithm is similar to the Mersenne Twister algorithm but uses a smaller
array to hold state information (25 elements compared to MT's 624).
Consequently, the period is much smaller - 2^800-1 versus MT's 2^19937-1.
The period of ISAAC is 2^8295 values on average.
