Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating random number outputs utilized in generating a noise function at a given location in space. The method consists of partitioning selected portions of the random number generation process to achieve outputs in parallel. The relevant parallel outputs are weighted by effect and then summed together to give the amplitude of the noise function at the given location.
