  • Parallel generation of random numbers
    Patent number: 10048940
    Abstract: Parallelized generation of random numbers. A vector, in a memory component, is allocated that is configured to store a sequence of random numbers. A first thread of a plurality of threads is assigned to a first random number generator of a plurality of random number generators. A second thread of the plurality of threads is assigned to a second random number generator of the plurality of random number generators. A first random number designated for a first index position in the sequence of random numbers and a second random number designated for a second index position in the sequence of random numbers are generated in parallel by the first and second thread, respectively. The first random number in the first index position of the sequence of random numbers and the second random number in the second index position of the sequence of random numbers are stored in the allocated vector.
