    A modification of Lagged-Fibonacci generators. A SWB generator is the basis for the RANLUX generator, widely used e.g. for particle physics simulations. Maximally periodic reciprocals: 1992 R. A. J. Matthews A method with roots in number theory, although never used in practical applications. KISS: 1993 G. Marsaglia

  3. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated.

  4. Telephone numbers in Germany - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Germany

    The area code 700 is used for personal numbering. Unlike national subscriber numbers, the numbers are assigned individually, allowing for memorable numbers. 800-xxxxxxx. The area code 800 is assigned to freephone numbers. The numbers are assigned individually, allowing for memorable numbers. 900-x-xxxxxx.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code

    The QR code system was invented in 1994, at the Denso Wave automotive products company, in Japan. The initial alternating-square design presented by the team of researchers, headed by Masahiro Hara, was influenced by the black counters and the white counters played on a Go board; the pattern of position detection was found and determined by applying the least-used ratio (1:1:3:1:1) in black ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RdRand

    RDRAND. RdRand. RDRAND (for "read random") is an instruction for returning random numbers from an Intel on-chip hardware random number generator which has been seeded by an on-chip entropy source. [1] It is also known as Intel Secure Key Technology, [2] codenamed Bull Mountain. [3] Intel introduced the feature around 2012, and AMD added support ...

  7. Random number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number

    Random number. are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. A random number is generated by a random ( stochastic) process such as throwing Dice. Individual numbers can't be predicted, but the likely result of generating a large quantity of numbers can be ...

  8. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value ...

  9. Counter-based random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-based_random...

    A counter-based random number generation ( CBRNG, also known as a counter-based pseudo-random number generator, or CBPRNG) is a kind of pseudorandom number generator that uses only an integer counter as its internal state. They are generally used for generating pseudorandom numbers for large parallel computations.
