Plans to update Mersenne Twister

Dear all!

Are there plans to update TRandom3’s Mersenne Twister implementation to newer versions like,

Mersenne Twister with improved initialization:

or:

SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister (SFMT): twice faster than Mersenne Twister

http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/SFMT/index.html

Especially the version with improved initialization is interesting because it allows for seeds > 32 bit.

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Thank you for your message. I agree, it would deb useful to improve TRandom3 as you suggest.
I have added a new item in JIRA, sft.its.cern.ch/jira/browse/ROOT-5201
to plan this new feature

Best Regards
