# fastrand
|
|
|
|
Fast pseudorandom number generator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Features
|
|
|
|
- Optimized for speed.
|
|
- Performance scales on multiple CPUs.
|
|
|
|
# How does it work?
|
|
|
|
It abuses [sync.Pool](https://golang.org/pkg/sync/#Pool) for maintaining
|
|
"per-CPU" pseudorandom number generators.
|
|
|
|
TODO: firgure out how to use real per-CPU pseudorandom number generators.

As you can see, [fastrand.Uint32n](https://godoc.org/github.com/valyala/fastrand#Uint32n)
|
|
scales on multiple CPUs, while [rand.Int31n](https://golang.org/pkg/math/rand/#Int31n)
|
|
doesn't scale. Their performance is comparable on `GOMAXPROCS=1`,
|
|
but `fastrand.Uint32n` runs 3x faster than `rand.Int31n` on `GOMAXPROCS=2`
|
|
and 10x faster than `rand.Int31n` on `GOMAXPROCS=4`.
