Follow-up Comment #9, bug #54619 (project octave):
@Michael: I think this might make a good Google Summer of Code project. This
task isn't large enough to be a standalone project, but it could be part of a
larger project to change over the core to use the C++ libraries for random
number generation. I read through the paper you sent and I was ambivalent.
It's quite nicely worked out, and there are code samples, but if we move in
that direction then we also are back in the business of maintaining a code
base for random numbers. There is a simplicity, and reduced maintenance
burden, to just calling library code and letting the library maintainer's
worry about such things. Of course, a true engineering decision would look at
a number of variables like accuracy, performance, maintenance burden, etc.
That's why I think it might make a good GSOC project for someone to explore
these concerns and then implement a solution after consultation with the
Octave Maintainers.
