public final class SplittableRandom
extends Object
implements RandomGenerator, RandomGenerator.SplittableGenerator
A generator of uniform pseudorandom values (with period 264)
applicable for use in (among other contexts) isolated parallel
computations that may generate subtasks. Class
SplittableRandom
supports methods for producing pseudorandom numbers of type int,
long, and double with similar usages as for class
Random but differs in the following ways:
- Series of generated values pass the DieHarder suite testing independence and uniformity properties of random number generators. (Most recently validated with version 3.31.1.) These tests validate only the methods for certain types and ranges, but similar properties are expected to hold, at least approximately, for others as well. The period (length of any series of generated values before it repeats) is 264.
- Method
split()constructs and returns a new SplittableRandom instance that shares no mutable state with the current instance. However, with very high probability, the values collectively generated by the two objects have the same statistical properties as if the same quantity of values were generated by a single thread using a singleSplittableRandomobject. - Instances of SplittableRandom are not thread-safe.
They are designed to be split, not shared, across threads. For
example, a
fork/join-stylecomputation using random numbers might include a construction of the formnew Subtask(aSplittableRandom.split()).fork(). - This class provides additional methods for generating random
streams, that employ the above techniques when used in
stream.parallel()mode.
Instances of SplittableRandom are not cryptographically
secure. Consider instead using SecureRandom
in security-sensitive applications. Additionally,
default-constructed instances do not use a cryptographically random
seed unless the system property
java.util.secureRandomSeed is set to true.

split
Constructs and returns a new SplittableRandom instance that shares no mutable state with this instance. However, with very high probability, the set of values collectively generated by the two objects has the same statistical properties as if the same quantity of values were generated by a single thread using a single SplittableRandom object. Either or both of the two objects may be further split using thesplit()method, and the same expected statistical properties apply to the entire set of generators constructed by such recursive splitting.- Specified by:
