Mersenne Twister Mersenne Twister(MT) is a pseudorandom number generator. Following are its main features: It is designed with consideration on the flaws of various existing generators. The algorithm is coded into a C source downloadable below. Far longer period and far higher order of equidistribution than any other implemented generators. (It is proved that the period is 2^19937-1, and 623-dimensional equidistribution property is assured.) Fast generation. (Although it depends on the system, it is reported that MT is sometimes faster than the standard ANSI-C library in a system with pipeline and cache memory.) fficient use of the memory. (The implemented C-code mt19937.c consumes only 624 words of working area.) There are also Fortran (g77 ok) implementation.
