ROOT::Math::MixMaxEngine< N, SkipNumber > Class Template Reference

template<int N, int SkipNumber>
class ROOT::Math::MixMaxEngine< N, SkipNumber >

MixMaxEngine is a wrapper class for the MIXMAX Random number generator.

MIXMAX is a matrix-recursive random number generator introduced by G. Savvidy.

The real implementation of the generator, written in C, is in the mixmax.h and mixmax.cxx files. This generator code is available also at hepforge: http://mixmax.hepforge.org The MIXMAX code has been created and developed by Konstantin Savvidy and it is released under GNU Lesser General Public License v3.

This wrapper class provides 3 different variants of MIXMAX according to the template para extra parameter N. The extra parameter, SkipNumber, is used to perform additional iterations of the generator before returning the random numbers. For example, when SkipNumber = 2, the generator will have two extra iterations that will be discarder.

MIXMAX with N = 240. This is a new version of the generator (version 2.0beta) described in the 2016 paper (3rd reference), with special number $s=487013230256099140$, $m=2^{51}+1$ and having a period of $10^{4389}$.

MIXMAX with N = 17, from the 2.0beta version with $s=0$ and $m=2^{36}+1$. The period of the generator is $10^{294}$.

MIXMAX with N = 256 from the 1.0 version. The period is (for SkipNumber=0) $10^{4682}$. For this generator we recommend in ROOT using a default value of `SkipNumber=2, while for the previous two generators skipping is not needed.

This table describes the properties of the MIXMAX generators. MIXMAX is a genuine 61 bit generator on the Galois field GF[p], where $p=2^{61}-1$ is the Mersenne prime number. The MIXMAX generators with these parameters pass all of the BigCrush tests in the TestU01 suite</a>.
