dSFMT and ranlux APIs

This repo contains an API to ease the interaction with ranlux and dSFMT, which are libraries for pseudo-random numbers generation.

There also are some examples and benchmarks.

Info

Compile with

./complile.sh

Content:

• api-ov: it shows how to use the APIs. Run with run-ov.sh
• api-ov-bis: it shows how to use the APIs separating the allocation from the generation. Run with run-ov-bis.sh
• bench-ram: monitors the permormance of ranlux and dSFMT by generating a large random array. Run with run-ram.sh
• bench-disk: similar to random-test-ram, but uses smaller arrays and saves them to the disk. Run with run-disk.sh
• bench-disk-repeat: repeats the test a certain number of times. Run with run-disk-repeat.sh.
• bench-ram-repeat: repeats the test a certain number of times. Run with bench-ram-repeat.sh.
