Description-en: Random-number generator test library -- development package
libdieharder is the core library of dieharder and friends, designed to
be "the last suite of random number testers you'll ever wear". It can
test any of its many prebuilt and library linked generators (basically
all of those in the GNU Scientific Library plus a number of others from
various sources) or a potentially random dataset in either an
ascii-formatted or raw (presumed 32 bit uint) binary file. It is fairly
straightforward to wrap new software generators for testing, or to add
hardware generators that have a software interface for testing, and the
file input method permits pretty much any software or hardware RNG to be
tested using libdieharder calls.
.
libdieharder has as a design goal the full encapsulation in an
extensible shell of basically all the random number tests I have been
able to find -- George Marsaglia's "diehard" battery of tests, STS
(v1.6) from NIST FIPS, Knuth's tests, and more. Check in the man
page(s) or /usr/share/dieharder*/dieharder.pdf for documentation.
.
This package provides the header files and the pdf manual.
