https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7997 <p> Hello, I am looking at the Mersenne Twister Homepage: <a class="ext-link" href="http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/emt19937ar.html"><span class="icon">​</span>http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/emt19937ar.html</a> </p> <p> Apparently there can be a problem with slow initialization in the seeding. The new MT code offers an alternative initialization routine that admits an array of arbitrary length as a seed. </p> <p> This would be an interesting option to have as it would make it easier to use a random device to seed the MT generator. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7997 Trac 1.4.3 viboes Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:07:51 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7997#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7997#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">No-Maintainer</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">random</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Steven Watanabe Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:45:34 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7997#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7997#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">wontfix</span> </li> </ul> <p> Use seed_seq if you want to seed with a fixed length array. </p> Ticket
