I'm using boost::random_device & boost::mt19937 for creating random numbers. I would like to use both within different threads, are both object thread-safe, so I can use it without any thread locking?

I am not sure if boost random number generators are thread save. In doubt, you may consider to switch to TRNG, see http://numbercrunch.de/trng/ .
