I copied the algorithm from here: https://www.javamex.com/tutorials/random_numbers/numerical_recipes.shtmlI found it during the development of another application where I needed a lot of random data for simulation purposes :)
My implementation code is here: https://github.com/m7a/bo-big/blob/master/latest/Big4.java If I were to do it again today, I'd probably switch to any of these PRNGS: * https://burtleburtle.net/bob/rand/smallprng.html * https://www.pcg-random.org/
Secure Random can be obtained from OpenSSL:| $ time for i in `seq 1 100`; do openssl rand -out /dev/null $((1024 * 1024 * 1024)); done| | real 0m49.288s | user 0m44.710s | sys 0m4.579sEffectively 2078 MiB/s (quite OK for single-threaded operation). It is not designed to generate large amounts of random data as the size is limited by integer range...Thank you for posting the openssl(1) incantation.
You're welcome. [...] HTH Linux-Fan öö
