Random Number Generators
by Andrew Sutton 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

All, Over the semester, I had a student spend some time working on a random number generator for a skew normal distribution - it's a normal distribution that leans to the left or right. Then, I got ambitious and decided to implement a random number generator for a Weibull distribution. I actually cleaned up the code and made them more or less Boost-ready (minus documentation and testing). If anybody is interested, You can download them from here http://www.cs.kent.edu/~asutton/random.zip. If there's interest, I can move them to the sandbox where there is some other work on the Boost.Random library. Andrew Sutton asutton(a)cs.kent.edu

However Ilya Sokolov told me that PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE is wrong -- it tells you what processor you have, not what kind of OS you have. And you cannot run 64-bit binaries on a 32-bit windows. According to Ilya, PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER is x86 on win32, whatever the actual processor might be. On win64, PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER is supposed to be always AMD64. > My os environement are: > > PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 > PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=EM64T Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6, GenuineIntel Hmm, this contradicts the statement above. > if [ MATCH ^(AMD64) : [ os.environ PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER ] > || MATCH ^(EM64T) : [ os.environ PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER ] ] > > (not certain about the syntax) Yeah, this seems about right. I've checked in the attached patch to SVN HEAD, would you please check if it works better? Thanks, Volodya

Intel EM64T build with msvc
by Cédric Venet 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi, I recently tried to build boost 64bits on an intel EM64T (core 2 duo) with msvc. And bjam incorrectly selected the x86_amd64 toolset (cross compiler) instead of the amd64 one (native 64bits compiler). In the file boost/tools/build/v2/tools/msvc.jam at the line 314 the check is: if [ MATCH ^(AMD64) : [ os.environ PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER ] ] should it be if [ MATCH ^(AMD64) : [ os.environ PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE ] ] or if [ MATCH ^(AMD64) : [ os.environ PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER ] || MATCH ^(EM64T) : [ os.environ PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER ] ] (not certain about the syntax) My os environement are: PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=EM64T Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6, GenuineIntel Regards, Ps: perhaps I should post this on boost.build ? -- Cédric Venet
