Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

mt19937

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Fill a strided array with pseudorandom numbers generated using a 32-bit Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/random-strided-mt19937

Usage

var mt19937 = require( '@stdlib/random-strided-mt19937' );

mt19937( N, out, so[, options] )

Fills a strided array with pseudorandom integers between 0 and 4294967295.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );

// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937( out.length, out, 1 );

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • out: output array.
  • so: index increment for out.

The N and stride parameters determine which strided array elements are accessed at runtime. For example, to access every other value in out,

var out = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mt19937( 3, out, 2 );

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Initial array:
var out0 = new Float64Array( 6 );

// Create offset views:
var out1 = new Float64Array( out0.buffer, out0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

// Fill the output array:
mt19937( out1.length, out1, 1 );

The function accepts the following options:

  • seed: pseudorandom number generator seed.
  • state: a Uint32Array containing pseudorandom number generator state. If provided, the function ignores the seed option.
  • copy: boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number generator state. Setting this option to false allows sharing state between two or more pseudorandom number generators. Setting this option to true ensures that a returned generator has exclusive control over its internal state. Default: true.

To seed the underlying pseudorandom number generator, set the seed option.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var opts = {
    'seed': 12345
};

var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
mt19937( out.length, out, 1, opts );

mt19937.ndarray( N, out, so, oo[, options] )

Fills a strided array with pseudorandom integers between 0 and 4294967295 using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );

// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.ndarray( out.length, out, 1, 0 );

The function has the following additional parameters:

  • oo: starting index for out.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to access every other value in out starting from the second value,

var out = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mt19937.ndarray( 3, out, 2, 1 );

The function accepts the same options as documented above for mt19937().

mt19937.normalized( N, out, so[, options] )

Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers between 0 and 1.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );

// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized( out.length, out, 1 );

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • out: output array.
  • so: index increment for out.

The function accepts the same options as documented above for mt19937().

mt19937.normalized.ndarray( N, out, so, oo[, options] )

Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers between 0 and 1 using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );

// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized.ndarray( out.length, out, 1, 0 );

The function has the following additional parameters:

  • oo: starting index for out.

The function accepts the same options as documented above for mt19937().

Notes

  • If N <= 0, all functions leave the output array unchanged.
  • All functions support array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access.

Examples

var zeros = require( '@stdlib/array-zeros' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var logEach = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each' );
var mt19937 = require( '@stdlib/random-strided-mt19937' );

// Specify a PRNG seed:
var opts = {
    'seed': 1234
};

// Create an array:
var x1 = zeros( 10, 'float64' );

// Create a list of indices:
var idx = zeroTo( x1.length );

// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized( x1.length, x1, 1, opts );

// Create a second array:
var x2 = zeros( 10, 'generic' );

// Fill the array with the same pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized( x2.length, x2, 1, opts );

// Print the array contents:
logEach( 'x1[%d] = %.2f; x2[%d] = %.2f', idx, x1, idx, x2 );
