Description
slarnd dlarnd clarnd zlarnd
The routine ?larnd returns a random number from a uniform or normal distribution.
Input Parameters
idist
INTEGER . Specifies the distribution of the random numbers. For slarnd and dlanrd :
= 1: uniform (0,1)
= 2: uniform (-1,1)
= 3: normal (0,1).
For clarnd and zlanrd :
= 1: real and imaginary parts each uniform (0,1)
= 2: real and imaginary parts each uniform (-1,1)
= 3: real and imaginary parts each normal (0,1)
= 4: uniformly distributed on the disc abs(z) ≤ 1
= 5: uniformly distributed on the circle abs(z) = 1
iseed
INTEGER . Array, size 4. On entry, the seed of the random number generator. The array elements must be between 0 and 4095, and iseed(4) must be odd.
Output Parameters
- iseed
-
INTEGER . On exit, the seed is updated.
- res
-
REAL for slarnd, DOUBLE PRECISION for dlarnd, COMPLEX for clarnd, DOUBLE COMPLEX for zlarnd, Random number.
Return Values
The function returns a random number (for complex variations libmkl_gf_* interface layer/libraries return the result as the parameter res ) .
