15 // RandomNumberGenerator
16 
17 // This class is used to generate a stream of pseudo-random numbers. The class
18 // uses a 64-bit seed, which is passed through MurmurHash3 to create two 64-bit
19 // state values. This pair of state values is then used in xorshift128+.
20 // The resulting stream of pseudo-random numbers has a period length of 2^128-1.
21 // See Marsaglia: http://www.jstatsoft.org/v08/i14/paper
22 // And Vigna: http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/xorshiftplus.pdf
23 // NOTE: Any changes to the algorithm must be tested against TestU01.
24 //       Please find instructions for this in the internal repository.
25 
26 // If two instances of RandomNumberGenerator are created with the same seed, and
27 // the same sequence of method calls is made for each, they will generate and
28 // return identical sequences of numbers.
29 // This class uses (probably) weak entropy by default, but it's sufficient,
30 // because it is the responsibility of the embedder to install an entropy source
31 // using v8::V8::SetEntropySource(), which provides reasonable entropy, see:
32 // https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2905
33 // This class is neither reentrant nor threadsafe.
