Class ThreadLocalRandom

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable


    public class ThreadLocalRandom
    extends Random
    A random number generator isolated to the current thread. Like the global Random generator used by the Math class, a ThreadLocalRandom is initialized with an internally generated seed that may not otherwise be modified. When applicable, use of ThreadLocalRandom rather than shared Random objects in concurrent programs will typically encounter much less overhead and contention. Use of ThreadLocalRandom is particularly appropriate when multiple tasks (for example, each a ForkJoinTask) use random numbers in parallel in thread pools.

    Usages of this class should typically be of the form: ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextX(...) (where X is Int, Long, etc). When all usages are of this form, it is never possible to accidently share a ThreadLocalRandom across multiple threads.

    This class also provides additional commonly used bounded random generation methods.

    Instances of ThreadLocalRandom are not cryptographically secure. Consider instead using SecureRandom in security-sensitive applications. Additionally, default-constructed instances do not use a cryptographically random seed unless the system property java.util.secureRandomSeed is set to true.

      • next

        protected int next(int bits)
        Description copied from class: Random
        Generates the next pseudorandom number. Subclasses should override this, as this is used by all other methods.

        The general contract of next is that it returns an int value and if the argument bits is between 1 and 32 (inclusive), then that many low-order bits of the returned value will be (approximately) independently chosen bit values, each of which is (approximately) equally likely to be 0 or 1. The method next is implemented by class Random by atomically updating the seed to

         (seed * 0x5DEECE66DL + 0xBL) & ((1L << 48) - 1)
        and returning
         (int)(seed >>> (48 - bits)).
        This is a linear congruential pseudorandom number generator, as defined by D. H. Lehmer and described by Donald E. Knuth in The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 3: Seminumerical Algorithms, section 3.2.1.

      • nextGaussian

        public double nextGaussian()
        Description copied from class: Random
        Returns the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

        The general contract of nextGaussian is that one double value, chosen from (approximately) the usual normal distribution with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0, is pseudorandomly generated and returned.

        The method nextGaussian is implemented by class Random as if by a threadsafe version of the following:

         
         private double nextNextGaussian;
         private boolean haveNextNextGaussian = false;
        
         public double nextGaussian() {
           if (haveNextNextGaussian) {
             haveNextNextGaussian = false;
             return nextNextGaussian;
           } else {
             double v1, v2, s;
             do {
               v1 = 2 * nextDouble() - 1;   // between -1.0 and 1.0
               v2 = 2 * nextDouble() - 1;   // between -1.0 and 1.0
               s = v1 * v1 + v2 * v2;
             } while (s >= 1 || s == 0);
             double multiplier = StrictMath.sqrt(-2 * StrictMath.log(s)/s);
             nextNextGaussian = v2 * multiplier;
             haveNextNextGaussian = true;
             return v1 * multiplier;
           }
         }
        This uses the polar method of G. E. P. Box, M. E. Muller, and G. Marsaglia, as described by Donald E. Knuth in The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 3: Seminumerical Algorithms, section 3.4.1, subsection C, algorithm P. Note that it generates two independent values at the cost of only one call to StrictMath.log and one call to StrictMath.sqrt.
        Overrides:
        nextGaussian in class Random
        Returns:
        the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence
