svrng_leapfrog_engine

Re-initialize engine parameters for use of the leap-frog method

Syntax

svrng_engine_t svrng_leapfrog_engine( svrng_engine_t orig_engine, int k, int nstreams )

Input Parameters

orig_engine

Pointer to the engine to be re-initialized using the leap-frog technique.

k

Index of the computational node, or sequence number.

nstreams

Largest number of computational nodes, or stride.

Description

The svrng_skipahead_engine function re-initializes the engine parameters using the leap-frog method. The leap-frogged engine generates random numbers in a random stream with non-unit stride. This feature is particularly useful in distributing random numbers from the original stream across the nstreams buffers without generating the original random sequence with subsequent manual distribution.
