SLARNV(3)

okay so bestie, we're in SLARNV(3) from the Library Functions Manual, and this is the whole tea on getting random numbers out of LAPACK. 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

This page is literally the manual for /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/lapack-static-3.12.0-build/lapack-3.12.0/SRC/slarnv.f — the source file where SLARNV lives. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🦋 Functions/Subroutines 🦋

• subroutine SLARNV (idist, iseed, n, x) — SLARNV returns a vector of random numbers from a uniform or normal distribution. No cap. 🌈

🌸 Function/Subroutine Documentation 🌸

subroutine SLARNV (integer idist, integer, dimension( 4 ) iseed, integer n,
    real, dimension( * ) x)

SLARNV returns a vector of random numbers from a uniform or normal distribution. That's the main character energy of this routine. 👑

🎀 Purpose 🎀

SLARNV returns a vector of n random real numbers from a uniform or normal distribution. 🎲

🧚 Parameters 🧚

• IDIST — IDIST is INTEGER. Specifies the distribution of the random numbers:
  • = 1: uniform (0,1)
  • = 2: uniform (-1,1)
  • = 3: normal (0,1)
• ISEED — ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4). On entry, this is 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. 🌀
• N — N is INTEGER. The number of random numbers to be generated. 🔢
• X — X is REAL array, dimension (N). The generated random numbers. ✨

🚨 Seed rules are not optional, bestie: the array elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be odd. That's the actual contract. 💀

🔥 Further Details 🔥

This routine calls the auxiliary routine SLARUV to generate random real numbers from a uniform (0,1) distribution, in batches of up to 128 using vectorisable code. The Box-Muller method is used to transform numbers from a uniform to a normal distribution. 🧠✨

Bye bestie 💖 — the footer's source/version stamp is LAPACK Version 3.12.0, and it points back to /home/abui...RC/slarnv.f(3). That's the build/date energy for this page. 🌈✨
