Method Detail
-
jump
UniformRandomProvider jump()
Creates a copy of the UniformRandomProvider and then advances the state of the current instance. The copy is returned.The current state will be advanced in a single operation by the equivalent of a number of sequential calls to a method that updates the state of the provider. The size of the jump is implementation dependent.
Repeat invocations of this method will create a series of generators that are uniformly spaced at intervals of the output sequence. Each generator provides non-overlapping output for the length of the jump for use in parallel computations.
- Returns:
- A copy of the current state.
