Dear boosters,
Has anyone else noticed that lagged_fibonacci607 produces negative random numbers when compiled with the Intel C++ compiler for Linux v10.0 using Pentium4 processor specific optimizations? As far as I understand, the random numbers generated by lagged_fibonacci607 should be within the interval [0,1). GCC and the Intel compiler with less aggressive optimizations generate values within that range.
This is probably a bug in the Intel compiler, but if anyone has a workaround please let me know.
Can you see it just with the default seed? Which compiler options do you use? Matthias
