Description:
Random123 is a library of "counter-based" random number generators (CBRNGs), in
which the Nth random number can be obtained by applying a stateless mixing
function to N instead of the conventional approach of using N iterations of a
stateful transformation. CBRNGs were originally developed for use in MD
applications on Anton, but they are ideal for a wide range of applications on
modern multi-core CPUs, GPUs, clusters, and special-purpose hardware. Three
families of non-cryptographic CBRNGs are described in a paper presented at the
SC11 conference: ARS (based on the Advanced Encryption System (AES)), Threefry
(based on the Threefish encryption function), and Philox (based on integer
multiplication). They all satisfy rigorous statistical testing (passing
BigCrush in TestU01), vectorize and parallelize well (each generator can
produce at least 264 independent streams), have long periods (the period of
each stream is at least 2128), require little or no memory or state, and have
excellent performance (a few clock cycles per byte of random output). The
Random123 library can be used with CPU (C and C++) and GPU (CUDA and OpenCL)
applications.

[Bug 1010613] New: Review Request: ck - Concurrency Kit
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010613
Bug ID: 1010613
Summary: Review Request: ck - Concurrency Kit
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Assignee: nobody(a)fedoraproject.org
Reporter: cickumqt(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

Spec URL: http://cicku.me/ck.spec
SRPM URL: http://cicku.me/ck-0.3-1.fc21.src.rpm
Description: Concurrency Kit provides a plethora of concurrency primitives,
safe memory reclamation mechanisms and lock-less and lock-free data structures
designed to aid in the design and implementation of high performance concurrent
systems. It is designed to minimize dependencies on operating system-specific
interfaces and most of the interface relies only on a strict subset of the
standard library and more popular compiler extensions.
