  • Dieharder - New Test for Mersenne Twister

    From Frederick Virchanza Gotham@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 24 06:21:45 2022
    [ I have posted this to both "sci.crypt" and "sci.crypt.random-numbers". I have posted separately to each group instead of cross-posting ]

    Today I forked the "Dieharder" repository on Github, and I've added a new test.

    My new test is Test No. 18, and it is for predicting the output of the 32-Bit Mersenne Twister.

    You can see my code changes here:

    https://github.com/eddelbuettel/dieharder/compare/master...healytpk:dieharder_predict_mersenne:master

    If you compile it and run it as follows:

    ./dieharder/dieharder -d 18 -g 401
    ./dieharder/dieharder -d 18 -g 402
    ./dieharder/dieharder -d 18 -g 403
    ./dieharder/dieharder -d 18 -g 404
    ./dieharder/dieharder -d 18 -g 405

    You'll see that it comes back with "PASS" except for generator No. 403 (i.e. the 32-Bit Mersenne Twister).
