From: "pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org> To: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org Subject: [Bug target/94087] std::random_device often fails when used from multiple threads Date: Sun, 08 Mar 2020 08:08:32 +0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-94087-4-lTCjL6YmD9@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw) In-Reply-To: <bug-94087-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94087 --- Comment #3 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/98/4a/DRNG_Software_Implementation_Guide_2.1.pdf 5.3.1 Retry Recommendations ... If only one thread is calling RDSEED infrequently, it is very unlikely that a random seed will not be available. Only during periods of heavy demand, such as when one thread is calling RDSEED in rapid succession or multiple threads are calling RDSEED simultaneously, are underflows likely to occur. ... 5.3.1.2 Asynchronous applications The application should be prepared to give up on RDSEED after a small number of retries, where "small" is somewhere between 1 and 100, depending on the application's sensitivity to delays. As with synchronous applications, it is recommended that a PAUSE instruction be inserted into the retry loop. Applications needing a more aggressive approach can alternate between RDSEED and RDRAND, pulling seeds from RDSEED as they are available and filling a RDRAND buffer for future 512:1 reduction when they are not. ---- CUT ---
