Detailed Description

Hardware random number generating class.

Generates random deviates from a number of distributions, using hardware random numbers (RDRAND processor instruction). Health of the RDRAND generator is tested every time a new number is required. Throws a string object "RDRAND_failed" if the test fails. The implementation of random 64-bit integer generation follows Intel's suggestions.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GenerateHR() [1/2]

sampFiles::GenerateHR::GenerateHR ( const GenerateHR &  old )

inline

Copy constructor.

Parameters

[in]

old

object to copy

Member Function Documentation

operator=() [1/2]

GenerateHR& sampFiles::GenerateHR::operator= ( const GenerateHR &  old )

default

Copy assignment operator.

Parameters

[in]

old

object to copy

operator=() [2/2]

GenerateHR& sampFiles::GenerateHR::operator= ( GenerateHR &&  old )

ranInt()

volatile uint64_t GenerateHR::ranInt ( )

virtual

Generate a random 64-bit unsigned integer.

Monitors the health of the CPU random number generator and throws a string object "RDRAND_failed" if a failure is detected after ten tries.

Returns

digital random 64-bit unsigned integer

Implements sampFiles::Generate.
