Function Documentation

ghost_error ghost_rand_create

(

)

Create a random seed for each PU of the machine.

Returns

This assumes that there at most as many OpenMP threads as there are PUs.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int ghost_rand_cu_seed_get

(

)

Get the CUDA random seed.

Returns

The CUDA random seed.

bool ghost_rand_customseed

(

)

Check whether a custom seed has been set.

Returns

True if a custom seed has been set, false otherwise.

void ghost_rand_destroy

(

)

Destroy the random states.

ghost_error ghost_rand_get

(

unsigned int **

s

)

Get a random state for the calling thread.

Parameters

s	Where to store the state.

Returns

GHOST_SUCCESS on success or an error indicator.

The random state is determined from the calling OpenMP thread index. OpenMP do not have to be pinned in order to return correct random seeds. This function is used for thread-safe random number generation.

Here is the call graph for this function:

ghost_error ghost_rand_seed	(	ghost_rand_seed_type	which,
		unsigned int	seed
	)

Set the random number seed.

Parameters

which	Which components of the seed should be set. Components can be combined with OR.
seed	The value to which the component should be set.

Returns

GHOST_SUCCESS on success or an error indicator.

The random number seed used by GHOST is a combination of the time, the rank and the PU. Each of those components can be set individually with this function. This assumes that there at most as many OpenMP threads as there are PUs. It is not possible to set the PU seed on CUDA devices.

Here is the call graph for this function:
