NO SUPPORT FOR RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR routines ?

[WSinc]

I am referring to the two routines:

call random_number() and Call random_seed()

Those are not included in any of the categories, and your A to Z index is not available.

Are they supported elsewhere ?

Hi Billsincl,

The following link provides the documentation for Random Number Generators in the latest version of Intel Math Kernel Library: https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/521842

Intel MKL VS provides a set of routines implementing commonly used pseudorandom, quasi-random, or non-deterministic random number generators with continuous and discrete distribution.

Hi Billsincl,

You can also check the following specific documentation about the Basic Generators: https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/521846

Hi Billsincl,

I understood you were talking about Intel Math Kernel Library. However, the routine names make me think that you are probably talking about Fortran. In case your question is related to Fortran, the following link provides documentation for the RANDOM_NUMBER routine: https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/679804

BTW, in case your question is related to Fortran, the most appropriate forum is https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows

Hi billsincl

There are many Random Number Generation example in MKL install folder. for example,

[yhu5@hsw-ep01 ~]$ cd /opt/intel/mkl/examples/
[yhu5@hsw-ep01 examples]$ ls
examples_cluster_c.tgz  examples_core_f.tgz  examples_mic_f.tgz
examples_cluster_f.tgz  examples_f95.tgz
examples_core_c.tgz     examples_mic_c.tgz
 

Best Regards,
