-----Original Message----- From: boost-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of John Salmon Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 1:26 PM To: boost@lists.boost.org Subject: [boost] [random] Determining interest in Pseudo-Random Functions and Counter Based Random Number Generators I am co-author of "Parallel Random Numbers, as Easy as 1, 2, 3". which recently won the best paper award at the IEEE/ACM SC'11 conference. I'm also co-author of the related Random123 library: http://deshawresearch.com/resources_random123.html My colleagues and I would like to contribute a similar library to Boost as well. This isn't just a "port" of the Random123 library. Boost's focus on C++ allows for both simplification and clarification of the ideas in the paper and the original library. I've done a preliminary draft of some code that fits nicely into the existing Boost Random library. It's incomplete, but I think there's enough for folks to look at and gauge further interest. A zip file with a boost-like layout is here: ------------------------------------- I am very interested in this library. Of course, I spend most of my development time in a parallel Monte Carlo application.
