Counter-based random number generators for C, C++ and CUDA

The Random123 library is a collection of counter-based random number generators “CBRNGs” for CPUs C and C++ and GPUs CUDA and OpenCL, as described in Parallel Random Numbers As Easy as 1, 2, 3, Salmon, Moraes, Dror & Shaw, SC11, Seattle, Washington, USA, 2011, ACM . They are intended for use in statistical applications and Monte Carlo simulation and have passed all of the rigorous SmallCrush, Crush and BigCrush tests in the extensive TestU01 suite of statistical tests for random number generators. They are not suitable for use in cryptography or security even though they are constructed using principles drawn from cryptography.
