Title: Fast Pseudo Random Number Generators
Version: 0.2.1.1

Description: Several fast random number generators are provided as C++
header only libraries: The PCG family by O'Neill (2014
<https://www.cs.hmc.edu/tr/hmc-cs-2014-0905.pdf>) as well as
Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+ by Blackman and Vigna (2018
<arXiv:1805.01407>). In addition fast functions for generating random
numbers according to a uniform, normal and exponential distribution
are included. The latter two use the Ziggurat algorithm originally
proposed by Marsaglia and Tsang (2000, <doi:10.18637/jss.v005.i08>).
These functions are exported to R and as a C++ interface and are
enabled for use with the default 64 bit generator from the PCG family,
Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+ as well as the 64 bit version of the 20 rounds
Threefry engine (Salmon et al., 2011 <doi:10.1145/2063384.2063405>) as
provided by the package 'sitmo'.
