C Library Functions - random_init (3)
NAME
RANDOM_INIT(3) - [MATHEMATICS:RANDOM] Initializes the state of the pseudorandom number generator
SYNOPSIS
call random_init(repeatable, image_distinct)
logical,intent(in) :: repeatable logical,intent(in) :: image_distinct
CHARACTERISTICS
Description
o HARVEST and IMAGE_DISTINCT are logical scalars Initializes the state of the pseudorandom number generator used by RANDOM_NUMBER.
OPTIONS
REPEATABLE : If it is .TRUE., the seed is set to a processor-dependent value that is the same each time RANDOM_INIT is called from the same image. The term "same image" means a single instance of program execution. The sequence of random numbers is different for repeated execution of the program.
If it is .FALSE., the seed is set to a processor-dependent value.
IMAGE_DISTINCT : If is .true., the seed is set to a processor-dependent value that is distinct from the seed set by a call to RANDOM_INITin another image. If it is .FALSE., the seed is set value that does depend which image called RANDOM_INIT.
