Implementation of pRNG algorithms within UME::SIMD #39
Description
Originally reported by: Guilherme Amadio (Bitbucket: amadio, GitHub: amadio)
It would be nice to have at least a simple (and thread-safe, if possible) random number generator in UME::SIMD. Even a linear congruential generator should be good enough for some applications, and ideally a generator with good randomness for more sensitive workloads (e.g., particle simulation).
