Bug ID: 91414
Summary: Improved PRNG
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: jb at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Currently GFortran uses the xorshift1024* PRNG. The author of that PRNG has an
improved PRNG "xoshiro" at http://prng.di.unimi.it/ , described in detail at
https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.01407 . GFortran could (should?) switch to this
improved algorithm.
