A brief summary of the findings of this review is first presented, giving an overview of the use of parallel random number generators and a list of recommended algorithms.
Section 1 is an introduction to random number generators and their use in computer simulations on parallel computers.
Section 2 is a summary of the methods used to test and evaluate random number generators, on both sequential and parallel computers.
Section 3 gives an overview of the main algorithms used to implement random number generators on sequential computers, provides examples of software implementations of the algorithms, and states any known problems with the algorithms or implementations.
Section 4 gives a description of the most common methods used to parallelize the sequential algorithms, provides examples of software implementing these algorithms, and states any known problems with the algorithms or implementations on current high-performance computers.
Section 5 provides an overview our findings and gives recommendations for the use of random number generators on parallel computers.
A glossary of terms related to random number generators is provided.
Finally, there is a list of the references cited in this article.
