# MT19937 Archive

This is a reconstructed revision history for the MT19937 Mersenne Twister

pseudorandom number generator by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura.

It combines files from [Matsumoto's](https://web.archive.org/web/20050404003059/http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/matumoto/emt.html)

and [Nishimura's](https://web.archive.org/web/20020804170007/http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/~nisimura/random/)

archived sites at Keio University and [Matsumoto's current site](https://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/m-mat/MT/emt.html)

at Hiroshima University. The two authors made changes independently with many

changes not being incorporated by the other author. Later changes appear to have

been made by Nishimura. I have carefully merged them into a cohesive history.

The script used to generate this repo is available in the

[repo-archival project](https://github.com/thaliaarchi/repo-archival/tree/main/scripts/mt19937).

Some snapshots were not archived, but were indicated by timestamps in directory

listings. I have inferred missing revisions from analogous changes and marked

these with `~` by the filename in `git log`.

See [readme-mt.txt](readme-mt.txt) for documentation and usage instructions.
