Pseudorandom number generators | Random number generation

ACORN (PRNG)

The ACORN or ″Additive Congruential Random Number″ generators are a robust family of PRNGs (pseudorandom number generators) for sequences of uniformly distributed pseudo-random numbers, introduced in 1989 and still valid in 2019, thirty years later. Introduced by R.S.Wikramaratna, ACORN was originally designed for use in geostatistical and geophysical Monte Carlo simulations, and later extended for use on parallel computers. Over the ensuing decades, theoretical analysis (formal proof of convergence and statistical results), empirical testing (using standard test suites), and practical application work have continued, despite the appearance and promotion of other better-known [but not necessarily better performing] PRNGs.
