RANLUX: A Fortran implementation of the high-quality pseudorandom number generator of Lüscher

Abstract
Following some remarks on the quality of pseudorandom number generators commonly used in Monte Carlo calculations in computational physics, we offer a portable Fortran 77 implementation of a high-quality generator called RANLUX (for LUXury RANdom numbers), using the algorithm of Martin Lüscher described in an accompanying article. The implementation allows the user to select different quality or luxury levels, where higher quality requires somewhat longer computing time for the generation. Th...

Title of program: RANLUX
Catalogue Id: ACPR_v1_0

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