rand_isaac

Implements the ISAAC and ISAAC-64 random number generators.

ISAAC stands for "Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add, and Count" which are the principal bitwise operations employed. It is the most advanced of a series of array based random number generator designed by Robert Jenkins in 1996[^1][^2].

ISAAC is notably fast and produces excellent quality random numbers for non-cryptographic applications.

Crate Features

rand_isaac is no_std compatible. It does not require any functionality outside of the core lib, thus there are no features to configure.

The serde feature includes implementations of Serialize and Deserialize for the included RNGs.
