SPRNG
Description
The SPRNG libraries of generators produce good quality random numbers,
and are also fast. They have been subjected to some of the largest
random number tests, with around 10^13 RNs per test. SPRNG provides both FORTRAN and C (also C++) interfaces for the use of
the parallel random number generators.
Access
SPRNG v2.0 is available on Carver (gcc intel pgi) and Hopper (pgi cce). Use the module utility to load the software.
module load sprng
Using SPRNG
On Hopper:
ftn sprng_test.F $SPRNG -lsprng
On Carver:
mpif90 sprng_test.F $SPRNG -lsprng
Documentation
On Carver there are various documents in $SPRNG/DOCS and various examples in $SPRNG/EXAMPLES. See the SPRNG web site at Florida State University for complete details. For help using SPRNG at NERSC contact the consultants, consult@nersc.gov.
