Mersenne Twister in Assembler/DLL

---

• Sterling Stuart Stein (S-cubed) wrote a direct translation of MT19937 in MASM version 6. Here is the zip code of 2002/Jan/2 version: S3mt.zip . This code is twice faster than its original zrand.zip
• Jun Mizutani wrote a NASM (a free assembler for Linux) version of MT19937. Explanation is in Japanese , but the code is in English there. Here is corresponding exasm.tar.gz file . The length of the executable code is only 256 bytes! (But the speed is not optimized).
• Mike Tilstra ported MT19937 to bash. Here is a .tar.gz file.
• Mark Cederholm implemented seven different random number generators including MT19937 in a DLL. Here is the library , and here is the documentation . In the documentation, there is a comparison of run-time, results of statistical tests, etc.
• Einguste wrote a thread-safe DLL version of MT. His home page includes a DLL version as well as a thread-safe version, and a Makefile for Borland C++ Compiler 5.5. This page also includes MT19937ar.c ( improved initialization version, 2002/1/26) and its Cokus-type speed-up version MT19937ar-cok.c, and show a comparison of speed. Japanese home page is also available. And here is his code and dll in zip file.
• Matthew Bellew implemented MT in MMX assembler (July 2000)(modified May 2006).
• Agner Fog distributes a bunch of modern generators including mt19937ar.c (improved initialization version, 2002/1/26)in C++ and Assembler, for uniform and non-uniform random number generation. The code is very well optimized. See http://www.agner.org/random/ (2004/4/14)
