Bug#444912: ITP: mt19937 -- Common Lisp portable Mersenne Twister random number generator



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Pierre THIERRY <nowhere.man@levallois.eu.org>

* Package name    : mt19937
  Version         : 1.1
  Upstream Author : Douglas T. Crosher and Raymond Toy

  Programming Lang: Common Lisp
  Description     : Common Lisp portable Mersenne Twister random number generator

MT19937 is a portable Mersenne Twister random number generator. It is
mainly a modification of CMUCL's random number generator with all the
CMUCL-specific parts taken out.

It is faster than the JMT Mersenne Twister implementation, but
significantly slower than native random number generators provided by
major Common Lisp implementations. For light use this shouldn't be a
problem, since it is still very fast.
