Sun S3L 3.0 Programming and Reference Guide

Description

S3L_setup_rand_fib initializes the Lagged-Fibonacci random number generator's (LFG's) state table with the fixed parameters: l = 17, k = 5, m = 32.

The state table is initialized in a manner that ensures that the random numbers generated for each node are from a different period of the LFG. A Linear Multiplicative Generator (LMG) is used to initialize the noncritical elements of the state table.

Use S3L_free_rand_fib to deallocate an LFG setup.
