[Discuss-gnuradio] [VOLK] SIMD accelerated Mersenne-Twister

[Stefan Wunsch]

Hi!

I have implemented a SIMD accelerated Mersenne-Twister as a VOLK kernel.
The performance is pretty good with up to 350% performance increase
compared to a conventional Mersenne-Twister (used is the boost.random
implementation with O3 compiler flag).

Now the problem: The code isn't completely mine. It is done by the
author of this [0]. The code says that it is published under the
3-clause BSD licence [1].

Is it possible to contribute this to VOLK? Or do I violate the BSD
licence (or the GPL)?

Greetings
Stefan
