Random Number Generator Libraries

AOCL-RNG

AOCL-RNG is a high-performance, vector-based random number generation library optimized for AMD “Zen” processors. It offers a comprehensive suite of pseudorandom and quasi-random number generators, along with statistical distribution functions covering both continuous and discrete types. The library supports integer, single-precision, and double-precision outputs, featuring seven base generators and 23 distribution generators. Users can also specify a custom-built generator as the base for all distribution generators. AOCL-RNG depends on AOCL-LibM and the single-threaded AOCL-BLAS library.

The package containing AOCL-RNG binaries, examples, and documentation can be found in the Downloads section.

AOCL-SecureRNG

The AOCL-SecureRNG library provides APIs to access the cryptographically secure random numbers generated by AMD’s AOCL-RNG. It uses RDRAND and RDSEED x86 instructions provided by AMD hardware. Applications can link to the library and invoke either a single or a stream of random numbers in 16-, 32-, or 64-bit formats or arbitrary sized bytes.

There are no updates or modifications since version 5.1.
