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 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.
