2  * The Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator (PRNG)
3  *
4  * This is an implementation of fast PRNG called MT19937,
5  * meaning it has a period of 2^19937-1, which is a Mersenne
6  * prime.
7  *
8  * This PRNG is fast and suitable for non-cryptographic code.
9  * For instance, it would be perfect for Monte Carlo simulations,
10  * etc.
11  *
12  * For all the details on this algorithm, see the original paper:
13  * http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/ARTICLES/mt.pdf
