rocrand_status ROCRANDAPI rocrand_initialize_generator ( rocrand_generator  generator)

Initializes the generator's state on GPU or host.

Initializes the generator's state on GPU or host. User it not required to call this function before using a generator.

If rocrand_initialize() was not called for a generator, it will be automatically called by functions which generates random numbers like rocrand_generate(), rocrand_generate_uniform() etc.

Parameters
generator- Generator to initialize
Returns
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_NOT_CREATED if the generator wasn't created
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_LAUNCH_FAILURE if a HIP kernel launch failed
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_SUCCESS if the seeds were generated successfully

◆ rocrand_set_offset()

rocrand_status ROCRANDAPI rocrand_set_offset ( rocrand_generator  generator,
unsigned long long  offset 
)

Sets the offset of a random number generator.

Sets the absolute offset of the random number generator.

  • This operation resets the generator's internal state.
  • This operation does not change the generator's seed.

Absolute offset cannot be set if generator's type is ROCRAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MTGP32 or ROCRAND_RNG_PSEUDO_LFSR113.

Parameters
generator- Random number generator
offset- New absolute offset
Returns
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_NOT_CREATED if the generator wasn't created
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_SUCCESS if offset was successfully set
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_TYPE_ERROR if generator's type is ROCRAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MTGP32 or ROCRAND_RNG_PSEUDO_LFSR113

◆ rocrand_set_ordering()

rocrand_status ROCRANDAPI rocrand_set_ordering ( rocrand_generator  generator,
rocrand_ordering  order 
)

Sets the ordering of a random number generator.

Sets the ordering of the results of a random number generator.

  • This operation resets the generator's internal state.
  • This operation does not change the generator's seed.
Parameters
generator- Random number generator
order- New ordering of results

The ordering choices for pseudorandom sequences are ROCRAND_ORDERING_PSEUDO_DEFAULT and ROCRAND_ORDERING_PSEUDO_LEGACY. The default ordering is ROCRAND_ORDERING_PSEUDO_DEFAULT, which is equal to ROCRAND_ORDERING_PSEUDO_LEGACY for now.

For quasirandom sequences there is only one ordering, ROCRAND_ORDERING_QUASI_DEFAULT.

Returns
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_NOT_CREATED if the generator wasn't created
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_OUT_OF_RANGE if the ordering is not valid
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_SUCCESS if the ordering was successfully set
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_TYPE_ERROR if generator's type is not valid

◆ rocrand_set_quasi_random_generator_dimensions()

rocrand_status ROCRANDAPI rocrand_set_quasi_random_generator_dimensions ( rocrand_generator  generator,
unsigned int  dimensions 
)

Set the number of dimensions of a quasi-random number generator.

Set the number of dimensions of a quasi-random number generator. Supported values of dimensions are 1 to 20000.

  • This operation resets the generator's internal state.
  • This operation does not change the generator's offset.
Parameters
generator- Quasi-random number generator
dimensions- Number of dimensions
Returns
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_NOT_CREATED if the generator wasn't created
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_TYPE_ERROR if the generator is not a quasi-random number generator
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_OUT_OF_RANGE if dimensions is out of range
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_SUCCESS if the number of dimensions was set successfully

◆ rocrand_set_seed()

rocrand_status ROCRANDAPI rocrand_set_seed ( rocrand_generator  generator,
unsigned long long  seed 
)

Sets the seed of a pseudo-random number generator.

Sets the seed of the pseudo-random number generator.

  • This operation resets the generator's internal state.
  • This operation does not change the generator's offset.

For an MRG32K3a or MRG31K3p generator the seed value can't be zero. If seed is equal to zero and generator's type is ROCRAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MRG32K3A or ROCRAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MRG31K3P, value 12345 is used as seed instead.

For a LFSR113 generator seed values must be larger than 1, 7, 15,

  1. The seed upper and lower 32 bits used as first and second seed value. If those values smaller than 2 and/or 8, those are increased with 1 and/or 7.
Parameters
generator- Pseudo-random number generator
seed- New seed value
Returns
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_NOT_CREATED if the generator wasn't created
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_TYPE_ERROR if the generator is a quasi-random number generator
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_SUCCESS if seed was set successfully

◆ rocrand_set_seed_uint4()

rocrand_status ROCRANDAPI rocrand_set_seed_uint4 ( rocrand_generator  generator,
uint4  seed 
)

Sets the seeds of a pseudo-random number generator.

Sets the seed of the pseudo-random number generator. Currently only for LFSR113

  • This operation resets the generator's internal state.
  • This operation does not change the generator's offset.

Only usable for LFSR113.

For a LFSR113 generator seed values must be bigger than 1, 7, 15,

  1. If those values smaller, than the requested minimum values [2, 8, 16, 128], then it will be increased with the minimum values minus 1 [1, 7, 15, 127].
Parameters
generator- Pseudo-random number generator
seed- New seed value
Returns
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_NOT_CREATED if the generator wasn't created
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_TYPE_ERROR if the generator is a quasi-random number generator
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_SUCCESS if seed was set successfully

◆ rocrand_set_stream()

rocrand_status ROCRANDAPI rocrand_set_stream ( rocrand_generator  generator,
hipStream_t  stream 
)

Sets the current stream for kernel launches.

Sets the current stream for all kernel launches of the generator. All functions will use this stream.

Parameters
generator- Generator to modify
stream- Stream to use or NULL for default stream
Returns
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_NOT_CREATED if the generator wasn't created
  • ROCRAND_STATUS_SUCCESS if stream was set successfully
