NAME¶
Math::Random::ISAAC::XS - C implementation of the ISAAC PRNG algorithm
VERSION¶
version 1.004
SYNOPSIS¶
This module implements the same interface as "Math::Random::ISAAC" and
can be used as a drop-in replacement. This is the recommended implementation
of the module, based on Bob Jenkins' reference implementation in C.
Selecting the backend to use manually really only has two uses:
- •
- If you are trying to avoid the small overhead incurred with dispatching
method calls to the appropriate backend modules.
- •
- If you are testing the module for performance and wish to explicitly
decide which module you would like to use.
Example code:
# With Math::Random::ISAAC
my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC->new(time);
my $rand = $rng->rand();
# With Math::Random::ISAAC::XS
my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC::XS->new(time);
my $rand = $rng->rand();
DESCRIPTION¶
See Math::Random::ISAAC for the full description.
