Small RNGs
This repository houses a collection of random number generators for use with the Rand project.
Sub-crates
All implementations are housed in sub-crates, as follows.
PCG
Implements a selection of PCG random number generators.
PCG is a family of simple fast space-efficient statistically good algorithms for random number generation. [Melissa O'Neill, Harvey Mudd College, 2014].
Xorshift
Implements the Xorshift[^1] random number generator.

Features and dependencies
Wherever possible, all sub-crates are no_std
compatible, and depend only
core
and the rand_core
library.
Tests
All PRNGs feature at minimum a "true values" test comparing output against test vectors provided as part of the specification, as well as "construction" tests testing reproducibility of supported seeding methods.
Benchmarks
This parent crate includes benchmarks of all sub-crates, making benchmarking
as simple as cargo +nightly bench
.
