Pseudorandom number generators for personal computers

Abstract
The speed of desktop personal computers (PCs) has now reached a level of performance such that many scientific problems can be processed without recourse to mainframes. The pseudorandom number generators that are provided by several popular PC Fortran compilers are tested and timed, and compared to two algorithms that were previously published in this journal. Those two published routines have been enhanced and accelerated, and made compatible with a wider range of calling software.

Title of program: RANTAUMAR
Catalogue Id: ACLW_v1_0

Nature of problem
Any Monte Carlo or other calculation requiring a uniform pseudorandom number generator.

摘要
桌面个人电脑（PC）的处理速度现已达到如此之高，以至于许多科学问题无需依赖大型机即可处理。本文对几款流行PC Fortran编译器提供的伪随机数生成器进行了测试和计时，并与本刊先前发表的两种算法进行了比较。这两种已发表的程序经过优化和加速，并使其与更广泛的调用软件兼容。
程序名称：RANTAUMAR
目录编号：ACLW_v1_0
问题性质
任何需要均匀伪随机数生成器的蒙特卡洛或其他计算。
