Math::Random::ISAAC::XS(3pm)
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:
o If you are trying to avoid the small overhead incurred with
dispatching method calls to the appropriate backend modules.
o 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.
