License : GPLv2+
Description : dieharder is a fairly involved random number/uniform deviate generator
: tester. It can either test any of its many pre-built and linked
: generators (basically all of those in the Gnu Scientific Library plus
: some others) or a potentially random data-set in a file. With file
: input, it can manage either a variety of ASCII-formatted input or a raw
: binary bit string. It is thus suitable for use in testing both software
: RNG's and hardware RNG's.
:
: dieharder does all of its work with a standalone, extensible library,
: libdieharder. Therefore its tests can be integrated into other programs.
:
: dieharder encapsulates following random number tests: George Marsaglia's
: "Diehard" battery of tests, STS (v1.6) from NIST FIPS, Knuth's tests,
: and more. Check the documentation for complete list of the tests and
: references where possible. It is intended to be the "Swiss army knife of
: random number testers", or "the last suite of random number testers
: you'll ever wear".
