Dr. Jay

Thanks again for your work.
You know, I will try to beat the MWC from PRNGAlvo.
I'm kidding.

When I say on my page that this algorithm is not mathematically regular people
contest.
But I still think so. but see.
When we talk about 3.141592 ........, we write PI.
                                                __
When we talk about 1.414213.......... we write V 2    (sqrt(2))
etc..

Of course, the machines still can not work with symbols and are limited to their
ability of physical memory.

Imagine that the random numbers generated by a PRNG with double precision are:

1 - aerwwew = 0.4674858488345345345 ......
2 - bgdnmdu = 1 / 3
3 - cfsrehhd = Pi
....
....
n - xrwmkfifhf = 0.4663728223339 .....

and the internal calculations of a huge pressision

1/3 is diferente from 0.33333333333333333333 and more rigorous
Pi is different from 3.1415926535897932384626433832795.... and more rigorous
and so on.

This is the spirit of this algorithm. And that is why I say that is a nos
periodic algorithm, mathematically speaking.

I believe that now is the time of our architects / engineers begin a new
approach in building processors for the future.


Again, I ask. This is mathematical non periodic algorithm?

I agree with you for MWC to be the choice for the POVRay
I think it should be easy to implement.

Great George Marsaglia.
