randomstate.prng.xorshift1024.RandomState(seed=None)¶Container for the xorshift1024* pseudo-random number generator.
xorshift1024* is a 64-bit implementation of Saito and Matsumoto’s XSadd generator [1] (see also [2], [3], [4]). xorshift1024* has a period of \(2^{1024} - 1\) and supports jumping the sequence in increments of \(2^{512}\), which allows multiple non-overlapping sequences to be generated.
xorshift1024.RandomState exposes a number of methods for generating random
numbers drawn from a variety of probability distributions. In addition to the
distribution-specific arguments, each method takes a keyword argument
size that defaults to None. If size is None, then a single
value is generated and returned. If size is an integer, then a 1-D
array filled with generated values is returned. If size is a tuple,
then an array with that shape is filled and returned.
No Compatibility Guarantee
xorshift1024.RandomState does not make a guarantee that a fixed seed and a
fixed series of calls to xorshift1024.RandomState methods using the same
parameters will always produce the same results. This is different from
numpy.random.RandomState guarantee. This is done to simplify improving
random number generators. To ensure identical results, you must use the
same release version.
| Parameters: | seed ({None, int, array_like}, optional) – Random seed initializing the pseudo-random number generator.
Can be an integer in [0, 2**64-1], array of integers in
[0, 2**64-1] or None (the default). If seed is None,
then xorshift1024.RandomState will try to read data from
/dev/urandom (or the Windows analog) if available. If
unavailable, a 64-bit hash of the time and process ID is used. |

Notes
See xorshift128 for a faster implementation that has a smaller period.
Parallel Features
xorshift1024.RandomState can be used in parallel applications by
calling the method jump which advances the state as-if
\(2^{512}\) random numbers have been generated. This
allows the original sequence to be split so that distinct segments can be used
in each worker process. All generators should be initialized with the same
seed to ensure that the segments come from the same sequence.
>>> import randomstate.prng.xorshift1024 as rnd
>>> rs = [rnd.RandomState(1234) for _ in range(10)]
# Advance rs[i] by i jumps
>>> for i in range(10):
rs[i].jump(i)
State and Seeding
The xorshift1024.RandomState state vector consists of a 16 element array
of 64-bit unsigned integers.
xorshift1024.RandomState is seeded using either a single 64-bit unsigned integer
or a vector of 64-bit unsigned integers. In either case, the input seed is
used as an input (or inputs) for another simple random number generator,
Splitmix64, and the output of this PRNG function is used as the initial state.
Using a single 64-bit value for the seed can only initialize a small range of
the possible initial state values. When using an array, the SplitMix64 state
for producing the ith component of the initial state is XORd with the ith
value of the seed array until the seed array is exhausted. When using an array
the initial state for the SplitMix64 state is 0 so that using a single element
array and using the same value as a scalar will produce the same initial state.
