Mersenne Twister

The Mersenne Twister is a pseudorandom number generation algorithm created by Makoto Matsumoto. There is a Mersenne Twister home page, and a Wikipedia entry. The Mersenne Twister algorithm has a large period (something like 2^19,937 - 1), and it is advertised as fast. There are two main portable implementations:

• jmt.lisp - jmt.lisp is Jason's Mersenne Twister
• MT19937 - MT19937 is a portable Mersenne Twister random number generator
