Class XORShiftRandom

java.lang.Object

java.util.Random

org.apache.flink.util.XORShiftRandom

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class XORShiftRandom
extends Random

Implement a random number generator based on the XORShift algorithm discovered by George Marsaglia. This RNG is observed 4.5 times faster than Random in benchmark, with the cost that abandon thread-safety. So it's recommended to create a new XORShiftRandom for each thread.

Method Detail

next

public int next(int bits)

All other methods like nextInt()/nextDouble()... depends on this, so we just need to overwrite this.

Overrides:

next in class Random

Parameters:

bits - Random bits

Returns:

The next pseudorandom value from this random number generator's sequence
