One of the two project reports: The other part is designated PART A: MCMASTER (Off-Campus) PROJECT / <P> A simple and inexpensive pseudo-random number
generator has been designed and built using linear feedback
shift registers to generate rectangular and gaussian
distributed numbers. The device has been interfaced to a
Nova computer to provide a high speed source of random
numbers.
The two distributions have been checked with the
following tests: (i) Frequency test (ii) Autocorrelation
test and (iii) d 2-test. Results of each test have been
compared with the expected theoretical values. Finally,
a comparison of the generating speed has been made between
this new generator and the existing old software generators.
This 28-bit generator is especially desirable in
random simulation and Monte Carlo application if randomness,
speed and cost are the main consideration in the design. </P> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
