# Random module

## What is this about?

This repository aims at providing a modular and version controlled implementation of several

pseudo random number generation (PRNG) algorithms. All implementations are done in C, for

convenience with respect to integer arithmetics, and made available to Fortran via the

`iso_c_binding` feature.

The first algorithm that was implemented in this repository is the Mersenne Twister. Now,

the [threefry](http://www.deshawresearch.com/resources_random123.html) PRNG is also

available.

The original code `mt19937ar` from Matsumoto and Nishimura, downloaded from

http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html, is used as a starting point and

separated into a header and a library file. The state is stored as a struct to remove global

variables.
