Abstract
Simulations on parallel computors require distinct streams of pseudo-random deviates for each processor. A combination generator is proposed which achieves distinct streams through a congruential component, and long period through a Fibonacci component. The algorithm has been coded in Fortran 77, and is suitable for fairly long simulations on machines of up to a thousand processors. © 1992, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
