Subject: [Boost-users] Boost.Random and Dieharder et al.

Hi,

I am working with a team developing some utilities for a simulation,
and one of our requirements is to test the quality of the random
generators.
We based the utility on Boost.Random, but now have to show that that
was a good decision.
Has anyone verified the generators (e.g. Mersenne Twister or Linear
Congruential ) in Boost.Random pass the Dieharder, Ent, and/or TestU01
suites?

Any comments or suggestions on this are appreciated,
Pat
