Question

One algorithm for this task has a period of 2^19937 - 1 (-5[1])(“two to the power of nineteen thousand nine hundred thirty-seven minus one”) . George Marsaglia, who developed the Ziggurat algorithm for this task, (-5[1])developed a series of Diehard tests that are used to measure its quality. The Blum Blum Shub (-5[1])method is a competitor to the Mersenne Twister method of performing this task. (-5[3])This task is relied upon by Monte (-5[1])Carlo methods. This task requires a (*) “seed” value to start a sequence. The “pseudo” form of this task is actually (10[1])created by a deterministic (10[1])process, such as algorithms. For 10 points, name this task which computers use to simulate events such as rolling a dice, abbreviated RNG. (10[1])■END■ (10[6]0[1])
