fastrand

Fast pseudorandom number generator.

Features

  • Optimized for speed.
  • Performance scales on multiple CPUs.

How does it work?

It abuses 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 scales on multiple CPUs, while 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.
