Struct Xoshiro512Plus

pub struct Xoshiro512Plus { /* private fields */ }

A xoshiro512+ random number generator.

The xoshiro512+ algorithm is not suitable for cryptographic purposes, but is very fast and has good statistical properties, besides a low linear complexity in the lowest bits.

The algorithm used here is translated from the xoshiro512plus.c reference source code by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna.

Implementations

impl Xoshiro512Plus

pub fn jump(&mut self)

Jump forward, equivalently to 2^256 calls to next_u64().

This can be used to generate 2^256 non-overlapping subsequences for parallel computations.

use rand::SeedableRng;
use rand_xoshiro::Xoshiro512Plus;

let rng1 = Xoshiro512Plus::seed_from_u64(0);
let mut rng2 = rng1.clone();
rng2.jump();
let mut rng3 = rng2.clone();
rng3.jump();

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Xoshiro512Plus

fn clone(&self) -> Xoshiro512Plus

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Xoshiro512Plus

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl RngCore for Xoshiro512Plus

fn next_u32(&mut self) -> u32

Return the next random u32.

fn next_u64(&mut self) -> u64

Return the next random u64.

fn fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8])

Fill dest with random data.

fn try_fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Fill dest entirely with random data.

impl SeedableRng for Xoshiro512Plus

fn from_seed(seed: Seed512) -> Xoshiro512Plus

Create a new Xoshiro512Plus. If seed is entirely 0, it will be mapped to a different seed.

fn seed_from_u64(seed: u64) -> Xoshiro512Plus

Seed a Xoshiro512Plus from a u64 using SplitMix64.

type Seed = Seed512

Seed type, which is restricted to types mutably-dereferencable as u8 arrays (we recommend [u8; N] for some N).

fn from_rng<R>(rng: R) -> Result<Self, Error>

where R: RngCore,

Create a new PRNG seeded from another Rng.
