GENERATING SYSTEM OF RANDOM-NUMBER SEQUENCES FOR A PARALLEL COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

In a parallel computer system comprising a plurality of processor elements, a parent processor element generates random-number initial values, and distributes the random-number initial values to child processor elements using a communication mechanism or a shared memory; and child processor elements conduct processing to generate random-number sequences in accordance with the maximum length shift register sequence (M-sequence) method using the distributed random-number initial values as seeds.
