Abstract

The generation of long, high quality random number sequences for Monte Carlo simulations using minicomputers is considered. The importance of the thorough testing of Monte Carlo random number generators is emphasized. A recommendation is given to authors of Monte Carlo papers to specify their random number generator and to describe the randomness testing which that generator has undergone.
