In particular, it's really fast - on +average, it requires only 18.75 machine cycles to generate a 32-bit value. +This makes it suitable for applications where a significant amount of random +data needs to be produced quickly, such solving using the Monte Carlo method or +for games. + +The results are uniformly distributed, unbiased, and unpredictable unless you +know the seed. The algorithm was published by Bob Jenkins in the late 90s and +despite the best efforts of many security researchers, no feasible attacks have +been found to date. +EOF diff --git a/perl-cpan/math-random-isaac/HISTORY b/perl-cpan/math-random-isaac/HISTORY new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..817a283fae --- /dev/null +++ b/perl-cpan/math-random-isaac/HISTORY @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +2015-09-20 Vlad Glagolev <stealth@sourcemage.org> + * DETAILS, DEPENDS: created spell, version 1.004 |
