Mersenne Twister for Graphic Processors (MTGP) Dynamic Creator (DC)

READ ME FIRST

The program in this archive is Mersenne Twister for Graphic Processors Dynamic Creator (MTGPDC).

MTGPDC is written in C++ language using templates.
MTGPDC outputs parameter sets for MTGP in Comma Separated Values format.
MTGPDC runs on CPUs not on GPUs.

Requirement

MTGP requires three libraries to be compiled.

Victor Shoup's NTL: A Library for doing Number Theory.
C++ TR1 Libraries. (g++ ver. 4.0 or later)
Boost C++ Libraries.
OpenSSL.

And MTGP requires UNIX like Operating System with GNU C++ compiler(g++).

Compile

change directory to src.
edit Makefile and uncomment some lines.
type make all.
mtgp32dc and mtgp64dc are created.

Programs and Usage

mtgp32dc [-v] [-c count] [-s seed_string] [-f outputfile] mexp ID mtgp64dc [-v] [-c count] [-s seed_string] [-f outputfile] mexp ID

The programs generate parameter sets for MTGP32 or MTGP64.

required

mexp

mexp is one of 3217, 4423, 11213, 23209 and 44497.

ID

ID is a decimal integer such that 0 <= ID < 2³².
optional

-v

verbose mode. MTGP outputs parameters, calculation time, etc. The messages are sent to standard output.

-c count

count is a number of the parameter sets to output. If omitted, one is assumed. ID is automatically incremented.

-s seed_string

seed_string is a ASCII character string used to initialize the internal random number generator. If omitted, PID and clock are concatenated and used as seed_string.

-f filename

filename of output parameters. If omitted, the parameters are sent to standard output.

check-sha-uniq.sh file file ...

The program checks if SHA1 of each parameter sets is different. The program uses UNIX utilities grep, cut, sort and wc. It outputs the number of unique SHA1s in the files which is outputs of mtgp32dc or mtgp64dc.

required

file

outputs of mtgp32dc or mtgp64dc

fast-param.awk file file ...

The program converts the output of mtgp32dc or mtgp64dc to the constant table of C language.

Users may need to change check-sha-uniq.sh and fast-param.awk to fit to their operating systems.

Format of Outputs

MTGP outpus Comma Separated Values format. Here is the format of outpus.

Column or Row	Description
The first row	# sha1, mexp, type, id, pos, sh1, sh2, tbl_0, tbl_1, tbl_2, tbl_3,tmp_0, tmp_1, tmp_2, tmp_3, mask, weight, delta The first row is as above. It starts with '#', so it's easy to be skipped by the script programs such as fast-param.awk or check-sha-uniq.sh. The first row shows title of several columns, but not all columns.
1st column SHA1	1st column is SHA1 digest of the characteristic polynomial of the state transition function of the generator. This column start with " and end with ".
2nd column MEXP	2nd column is Mersenne Exponent which is exponent part of Mersenne Prime. MTGP of the Mersenne Exponent p has a period of 2^p-1.
3rd column type	3rd column shows typename of integers in C99. mtgp32dc always puts uint32_t here, and mtgp64dc always put uint64_t.
4th column ID	4th column shows ID which users specified directly or indirectly by command line of MTGP.
5th column pos	5th column shows the pick-up position of the generator.
6th and 7th columns sh1 and sh2	For mtgp32dc, sh1 and sh2 are fixed to 13 and 4 respectively. And for mtgp64dc, sh1 and sh2 are fixed to 11 and 4 respectively.
8th -- 11th columns tbl_1 to tbl_4	recursion parameters. hexadecimal format numbers.
12th -- 15th columns tmp_1 to tmp_4	tempering parameters. hexadecimal format numbers.
16th column mask	the bit mask pattern. Let r = ceil(mexp / bit_size) * bit_size - mexp. r LSBs of the mask is set to zero, and other bits are set to one.
17th column weight	Hamming weight of the characteristic polynomial. In other words, the number of non-zero term of the characteristic polynomial.
18th column delta	Total dimension defect of the generator.
19th to 34th columns	redundant data. the recursion parameters expanded to a look-up table.
35th to 50th columns	redundant data. The tempering parameters expanded to a look-up table.
51th to 66th columns	redundant data. A look-up table which has the tempering parameters shifted and or-ed with a constant for tempering and converting into float.
