> Marsaglia is most famous for the diehard suite of RNG tests, so he knows his stuff.
Fame is relative, for my part Marsaglia is most famous for The Ziggurat Method for Generating Random Variables and numerous other PRNG delights .. the testsuite comes way down the list.
Once upon a time I made a branchless generator of large blocks of random points on S2 (the surface of a unit sphere) for an astrophysics sim, it was a fun exercise
