U.S.-Austria Cooperative Research: Computational and Mathematical Research in Parallel and Distributed Random Number Generation

9901204马斯卡尼该奖项是与奥地利萨尔茨堡大学数学系的彼得·赫勒卡莱克合作设立的，旨在资助国际和平研究所和几名研究生。该项目将侧重于开发新的并行伪随机数和准随机数发生器，并建立一套更有效的独立随机性测试。这家美国集团在并行处理器的代码开发方面有专长，而奥地利集团在生成准随机数的方法方面有专长。随机数生成是一个理论家和实践者互动很少的领域，该项目将结合奥地利和美国团队的能力，帮助解决这一不足。

9901204MascagniThis award supports the PI and several graduate students in a collaboration with Peter Hellekalek of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Salzburg, Austria. The project will focus on the development of new parallel pseudo- and quasi-random number generators and the construction of a more efficient independent set of randomness tests. The US group has expertise in code development for parallel processors, while the Austrian group has expertise in methods of generating quasi-random numbers. Random number generation is a field where theorists and practitioners have interacted little, and this project will help address that deficiency by combining the capabilities of the Austrian and US groups.
