public interface SplittableUniformRandomProvider
extends UniformRandomProvider

Applies to generators that can be split into two objects (the original and a new instance) each of which implements the same interface (and can be recursively split indefinitely). It is assumed that the two generators resulting from a split can be used concurrently on different threads.

Ideally all generators produced by recursive splitting from the original object are statistically independent and individually uniform. In this case it would be expected that the set of values collectively generated from a group of split generators would have the same statistical properties as the same number of values produced from a single generator object.

Method Detail

split

default SplittableUniformRandomProvider split()

Creates a new random generator, split off from this one, that implements the SplittableUniformRandomProvider interface.

The current generator may be used a source of randomness to initialise the new instance. In this case repeat invocations of this method will return objects with a different initial state that are expected to be statistically independent.

Returns:

A new instance.

split

SplittableUniformRandomProvider split(UniformRandomProvider source)

Creates a new random generator, split off from this one, that implements the SplittableUniformRandomProvider interface.

Parameters:

source - A source of randomness used to initialise the new instance.

Returns:

A new instance.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if source is null

splits

default Stream<SplittableUniformRandomProvider> splits()

Returns an effectively unlimited stream of new random generators, each of which implements the SplittableUniformRandomProvider interface.

The current generator may be used a source of randomness to initialise the new instances.

Returns:

a stream of random generators.

splits

default Stream<SplittableUniformRandomProvider> splits(SplittableUniformRandomProvider source)

Returns an effectively unlimited stream of new random generators, each of which implements the SplittableUniformRandomProvider interface.

Parameters:

source - A source of randomness used to initialise the new instances; this may be split to provide a source of randomness across a parallel stream.

Returns:

a stream of random generators.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if source is null

splits

default Stream<SplittableUniformRandomProvider> splits(long streamSize)

Returns a stream producing the given streamSize number of new random generators, each of which implements the SplittableUniformRandomProvider interface.

The current generator may be used a source of randomness to initialise the new instances.

Parameters:

streamSize - Number of objects to generate.

Returns:

a stream of random generators; the stream is limited to the given streamSize.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if streamSize is negative.

splits

default Stream<SplittableUniformRandomProvider> splits(long streamSize,
                                                       SplittableUniformRandomProvider source)

Returns a stream producing the given streamSize number of new random generators, each of which implements the SplittableUniformRandomProvider interface.

Parameters:

streamSize - Number of objects to generate.

source - A source of randomness used to initialise the new instances; this may be split to provide a source of randomness across a parallel stream.

Returns:

a stream of random generators; the stream is limited to the given streamSize.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if streamSize is negative.

NullPointerException - if source is null
