AOCL-RNG
AOCL-RNG is a high-performant implementation of the vector based Random Number Generator library, which provides a set of pseudorandom number generators, quasi-random number generator, and statistical distribution functions optimized for AMD “Zen”-based processors. Statistical distribution functions include continuous and discrete types. Random numbers of type Integer, Single Precision and Double Precision are provided in addition to seven base generators and 23 distribution generators. Using a custom-built generator as the base generator for all distribution generators is possible. AOCL-RNG is dependent on AOCL-LibM and Single-threaded AOCL-BLAS.
Highlights of AOCL-RNG 5.0
- Added AVX2 based optimized kernel for double precision MRG32K3A base generator
- Added Sobol quasi-random number generator as new base generator
- Supports AOCL_ENABLE_INSTRUCTIONS environment variable to select specified ISA kernels
- Added integer arithmetic based native implementation for double precision MRG32K3A base generator

AOCL-SecureRNG
The AOCL-SecureRNG library provides APIs to access the cryptographically secure random numbers generated by AMD’s hardware-based random number generator implementation. These high quality random numbers are robust and are designed to suit cryptographic applications. The library uses RDRAND and RDSEED x86 instructions provided by AMD hardware. Applications can link to the library and invoke either a single or a stream of random numbers. Random numbers of 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit or arbitrary size bytes are supported.
AOCL-SecureRNG 5.0 includes:
- APIs to verify support for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions on the target machine
- Retrieve 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit or arbitrary size bytes using RDRAND and RDSEED instructions
- APIs support retrial in case of a failure in RNG hardware
