real function slaran (iseed)
SLARAN

Function/Subroutine Documentation

  real function slaran (integer, dimension( 4 ) iseed)

SLARAN

Purpose:

    !>
    !> SLARAN returns a random real number from a uniform (0,1)
    !> distribution.
    !>

Parameters
    ISEED

    !>          ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4)
    !>          On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array
    !>          elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be
    !>          odd.
    !>          On exit, the seed is updated.

    !>  This routine uses a multiplicative congruential method with modulus
    !>  2**48 and multiplier 33952834046453 (see G.S.Fishman,
    !>  'Multiplicative congruential random number generators with modulus
    !>  2**b: an exhaustive analysis for b = 32 and a partial analysis for
    !>  b = 48', Math. Comp. 189, pp 331-344, 1990).
    !>
    !>  48-bit integers are stored in 4 integer array elements with 12 bits
    !>  per element. Hence the routine is portable across machines with
    !>  integers of 32 bits or more.
