We are looking for a parallel random number generator for a distributed Monte Carlo project. I've heard stories that this was going to be part of boost soon, but when trying to find more info I failed to find anything.
Is there any development activity on parallel random number generators in boost?
A couple of weeks ago, I asked if there was interest in a parallel RNG in boost. Here's a pointer to my original post:. http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2012/01/189293.php Our paper on parallel random number generators is here: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2063405 also available at http://www.thesalmons.org/john/random123/papers/random123sc11.pdf Source (non-boost) is available here: http://deshawresearch.com/resources_random123.html And software that might be a starting point for a boost contribution is here: http://thesalmons.org/john/random123/prf_boost/prf_boost.zip Feedback is appreciated.
