    I've started playing with your code Heater. There's something wrong with the bit shifting at the putchar() ...
  • Heater.Heater. Posts: 21,230
    Hmm, is it my browser, Chrome, or the forums software mangling our "8"s in the code blocks?

    evanh,

    Unlikely. Looked good when I checked the output with hexdump. Except we can perhaps have a different byte ordering. Which dieharder would not care about.

    Yes, but you are not using all 64 bits of the output, only the low 32.

    Here is my main code:
        while(1)
        {
            random64 = next();
            for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
                putchar(random64 >> (i * 8));
            }
        }
    

    Have a look at my comments again, I realized my mistake immediately and all comments/results after that are based on my fixed code!

    Ahle2,

    I changed my code to do explicit casting:
    	const unsigned __int128 result = (unsigned __int128)s0 + (unsigned __int128)s1;
    ...
    	return (uint64_t)(result >> 1);
    
    So it is the C equivalent of your version.

    Still fails.

    Ahle2,

    Yeah, we have been posting over each other. I saw your comments.

    It's miserable.

    What about trying pactrand on the original 64 bit output [63:0] ?

    My feeling is that we might as well use that bit zero. If it gets through pactrand surely we are good to go with 64 bits for all practical purposes on the P2 ?

    Where did you get pactrand from? Google does not seem to want to find it for me. Never mind. Helps if I spell it properly!

    So the top 64 bits from the 65-bit sum of s0+s1 do not pass the randomness test?

    I cant help but note here that, despite these overly-verbose typecasts in C++, there are all kinds of uncertainties and ambiguities about what the compilers are doing. Meanwhile, the forum software keeps substituting "08" for some idiotic emoji smiley face, further muddling up everyone's efforts. The Modern Way has almost ruined computing.

    Yes, the existing solution uses only the high 63 bits. Why? Because the bit zero is said to be not so statistically random looking as the rest.
    ...
    Unless I have made a mistake I think we may as well use the original 64 bit result.

    Using the original 64 bit result without discarding the LSB fails Practrand after just a few seconds!

    According to the standard explicit casting is 100% certain to produce the intended results. There's a reason why most embedded coding is made using C/C++... You CAN be certain what the compiler does IF YOU know what you are doing. On the other hand C++ is a monster for beginners!
  • evanhevanh Posts: 15,091
    Oops, I wasn't doing the shift by one. Okay, got something looking better now. Straightened up the byte order while I was at it.

    Okay, the Dieharder 63 bits results fails quite a lot, while the 64 bit results are all good, just as Heater had observed. I don't understand because it doesn't match Johannes's earlier findings.

  • evanhevanh Posts: 15,091
    Maybe 63 bit results have to be fully concatenated to be valid for testing. Get rid of the dangling unused 64th bit ...
  • cgraceycgracey Posts: 14,131
    So...

    sum [63:0] fails?
    sum [63:1] passes?

    What about sum [64:1]?

    evanh,

    I ran Dieharder with only the 8 LSB's ( (PRNG::getXoroshiro() >> 1) &0x7 ) as I figured that the randomness for all other bits would be equally good. Diharder reads 4 8 bits values and merge them into a 32 bit value internally. I am now running the same test with the 32 LSB of "PRNG::getXoroshiro() >> 1) & 0x1F"

    /Johannes
  • Ahle2Ahle2 Posts: 1,178
    Then I will run with "PRNG::getXoroshiro() >> 32"

    Other way round. But Johannes is saying that isn't good either. I've just had another shot at sum [64:1] and it's definitely the worst.

    I'm thinking sum [63:1] is presumably okay but the tests are tripping up on the fixed 0 value for the shifted bit 63.

    That is correct.

    On the whole the compilers are pretty clear. Well C anyway. C++ can always catch you out until you have learned all it's intricacies. Which can take a lifetime... Which is why most embedded projects limit the feature set of C++ you can use and have 200 page coding standards documents!

    Not sure what is up with the forum and "8)". A curse on emoji and Unicode I say. One sees them causing so much data corruption around the web.
    The Modern Way has almost ruined computing.
    Yep.

    It goes through Dieharder without trouble, but Practrand fails just after a few seconds!

    '
    Be sure you are packing those 63 bits so as to not be passing 64 bits with an MSB of zero. Or some such.


    There is a lot of shifting to be done to feed 63 bit chunks into dieharder.
  • cgraceycgracey Posts: 14,131
    The xoroshiro128+ document advised a sign test for extracting a random bit. That would mean just looking at sum [63], only, per iteration. We need as many bits as possible per iteration.
  • Ahle2Ahle2 Posts: 1,178
    To be clear!!

    According to Practrand:

    sum [64:1] - Bad
    sum [63:1] - Good
    sum [63:0] - Bad

    According to Dieharder:

    sum [64:1] - Bad
    sum [63:1] - Good
    sum [63:0] - Good

    Super!

    That means there's agreement that [63:1] is good. Having 63 unique bits is almost as good as having 64. We're in good shape, then, as is.

    Johannes,
    I've compiled PractRand sources and got three binaries. What's the testing command string you are using?

    EDIT: Current command is: ./xoroshiro128plus-test | ./RNG_test stdin -a >practrand.out
  • evanhevanh Posts: 15,091
    Hmm, it terminates the testing with the first "fail".

    I've had a single "fail" amongst a mass of "normal"s and a small number of "unusual"s on the simple sum [63:0]. It's not that bad, but I suppose we expected that.

    Admittedly sum [63:1] isn't "fail"ing at all and has even less "unusual"s.

    Being part of this P2 PRNG issue has renewed my interest in the P2. This has been so much fun! :)
    Could somebody give me a crash course (so I don't need to go through 1000's of forum pages) on how to download and run the latest P2 version on my DE2-115?

    Third link in Chip's opening post is the dev files. There is image files for the DE2-115/DE0-Nano/BeMicro-A2/BeMicro-A9, I think you might need to use Quartus to load them. PX.exe is only for the Prop123 boards.
