Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC v3 1/2] eal: replace libc-based random number generation with LFSR
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2019 14:33:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190424123320.19610-2-mattias.ronnblom@ericsson.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <20190424123319.ORNco-JTL7AvKRxaUD8FMeZfrjpaHl6zXpN5X9s8gxk@z> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190424123320.19610-1-mattias.ronnblom@ericsson.com>

This commit replaces rte_rand()'s use of lrand48() with a DPDK-native
combined Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) (also known as
Tausworthe) pseudo-number generator, with five sequences.

This generator is faster and produces better quality random numbers
than libc's lrand48() implementation. This implementation, as opposed
to lrand48(), is multi-thread safe in regards to concurrent rte_rand()
calls from different lcore threads. It is not cryptographically
secure - just like lrand48().

Bugzilla ID: 114
