# The security/hs-mwc-random port

## hs-mwc-random-0.12.0.1p1 – fast, high quality pseudo random number generation

## Description

    This package contains code for generating high quality random numbers
    that follow either a uniform or normal distribution.  The generated
    numbers are suitable for use in statistical applications.

    The uniform PRNG uses Marsaglia's MWC256 (also known as MWC8222)
    multiply-with-carry generator, which has a period of 2^8222 and
    fares well in tests of randomness.  It is also extremely fast,
    between 2 and 3 times faster than the Mersenne Twister.

    Compared to the mersenne-random package, this package has a more
    convenient API, is faster, and supports more statistical distributions.
