Comment Comment by bhickey I haven't looked closely enough at their choice to evaluate it, but there's a good reason not to use Mersenne Twister. MT is a bad generator.* The state size is 2kb* It fails some rudimentary statistical tests* The output is trivially predicted* It isn't particularly fast* It lacks multi-stream supportIf you need a CSPRNG use ChaCha20 or AES. For simulation use PCG. parent bhickey 11 years ago
