Parallel Random Number Generators

Random number generators are widely used in computer simulation, but high quality (i.e. good randomness properties) generators are hard to find, as are good tests for randomness. This is especially true for parallel computers.

This project will develop parallel random number generators and testing programs which will be made available through the National HPCC Software Exchange. Programs will be developed for message passing and High Performance Fortran.
