| Abstract : | Ensuring that pseudorandom number generators have good randomness properties is more complicated in a multiprocessor implementationthan in the uniprocessor case. We discuss simple extensions of uniprocessor testing for SIMD parallel streams, and develop in detail a repeatability test for the SPMD paradigm. Examples of the application of these tests to an additive lagged-Fibonacci generator are also given. 1, |
