% 64-bit Small Fast Counting generator, by Chris Doty-Humphrey.

% http://pracrand.sourceforge.net/
%
% From the above:
% "[A] good small chaotic RNG driven by a bad smaller linear RNG. The
% combination gives it the strengths of each - good chaotic behavior,
% but enough structure to avoid short cycles."

    % A fast, 64-bit SFC generator with unique state.

:- type ustate.

:- instance urandom(params, ustate).
:- instance urandom_dup(ustate).

    % Initialise a 64-bit SFC generator with the default seed. The
    % resulting generator produces the same sequence every time.

    % Generate a uniformly distributed pseudo-random unsigned integer
    % of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits, respectively.
