From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Carlo Perassi To: gsl-discuss@sources.redhat.com Subject: Nine new RNGs ported to GSL Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 13:20:00 -0000 Message-id: <20011103151218.G711@voyager.perassi.home> X-SW-Source: 2001/msg00654.html Hi, everybody. In the last two months, with the help of Brian Gough, I ported to the GSL nine new random number generators. I will try to port three other RNGs but I don't have a deadline for this second task. The nine new RNGs pass `make check` on a 32 bit system. Brian told me sometimes a RNG who pass `make check` on a 32 bit system fails on a 64 bit system so I am looking for some volunteers with 64 bit systems who want to try them on their machines. The patch is available here: http://www.linux.it/~carlo/somehacks/gslrngptc/ How to patch and test: - download the latest version of GSL (1.0 at the moment) - download the latest version of gslrngptc (1.0 at the moment) - tar zxvf gsl-1.0.tar.gz - cd gsl-1.0/rng - mv ../../gslrngptc1_0 . - patch -p1 < gslrngptc1_0 - cd .. - ./configure - make - make check | tee ckres You will get a ckres file with the results of the tests over the various libraries: if you don't get any errors it works well. Thank you very much for your time. -- Carlo Perassi carlo at linux dot it http://www.linux.it/~carlo/ --
