NAME

Math::Random::ISAAC::XS - C implementation of the ISAAC PRNG Algorithm

VERSION

Version 1.001 ($Id: XS.pm 8617 2009-08-18 03:46:38Z FREQUENCY@cpan.org $)

SYNOPSIS

This module implements the same interface as "Math::Random::ISAAC" and can be used as a drop-in replacement. This is the recommended implementation of the module, based on Bob Jenkins' reference implementation in C.

Selecting the backend to use manually really only has two uses:

•
If you are trying to avoid the small overhead incurred with dispatching method calls to the appropriate backend modules.
•
If you are testing the module for performance and wish to explicitly decide which module you would like to use.

Example code:

   # With Math::Random::ISAAC
   my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC->new(time);
   my $rand = $rng->rand();
 
   # With Math::Random::ISAAC::XS
   my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC::XS->new(time);
   my $rand = $rng->rand();

DESCRIPTION

See Math::Random::ISAAC for the full description.

$rng->rand()
