A shift-register sequence random number generator implemented on the microcomputers with 8088/8086 and 8087

Abstract
A shift-register sequence random number generator is programmed in Intel 8088/8086 and 8087 assembly language. Its performance is good in terms of its speed, long period and consistently producing reliable in extensive statistical tests. This generator may promote the microcomputers with 8088/8086 and 8087 to become a workstation for developing programs for Monte Carlo simulations of lattice field theories.

Title of program: TRCG
Catalogue Id: AAXI_v1_0

Nature of problem
The subroutines generate a sequence of uniformly distributed real and integer pseudo random numbers with the maximum period of 2**250 - 1. They can be used in Monte Carlo simulations of many different physical problems.
