Keywords:
General purpose, Statistical physics, Monte Carlo, Random numbers,
Random number generators, Pseudorandom, Congruential, Multipliers.
Programming language used: Data File
Nature of physical problem:
Any Monte Carlo calculation in physics or other subjects, particularly
those involving massively parallel processing.
Method of solution
More than 2000 congruential sequences, each with a different multiplier
may be used, either singly, or (preferentially) in a circulating manner.
In the latter case, the familiar Marsaglia hyperplane pattern is
disrupted, and a more chaotic distribution ensues.
