Class RandomManager

Class Documentation

class RandomManager

Singleton manager for initialising simulation wide random with a common seed This is an internal class, that should not be accessed directly by modellers Manages the shared array of curand state use by agent functions Manages the random engine/s used by host functions

Public Functions

RandomManager()

Creates the random manager and calls reseed() with the return value from seedFromTime()

~RandomManager()
uint64_t seedFromTime()

Utility for generating a psuesdo-random seed to pass to init

Member fns

void reseed(uint64_t seed)

Reseeds all owned random generators

Note

Can be called multiple times to reseed, doing so releases existing memory allocations

detail::curandState *resize(size_type _length, cudaStream_t stream)

Resizes random array according to the rules: while(length<_length) length*=growthModifier if(shrinkModifier<1.0) while(length*shrinkModifier>_length) length*=shrinkModifier

void setGrowthModifier(float)

Accessors

float getGrowthModifier()
void setShrinkModifier(float)
float getShrinkModifier()
template<typename T, typename dist>
T getDistribution(dist &distribution)

Generates a random number with the provided distribution

Note

Not believed to be thread-safe!

Parameters:

distribution – A distribution object defined by <random>

Template Parameters:

  • dist – random distribution type to be used for generation (this should be implicitly detected)

  • T – return type

size_type size()

Returns length of curand state array currently allocated
