Hi,

I had a look at the source code of Eigen and found out, that it lacks SSE support for Matrix::Random().
If anybody is interested: I just want to note that there is a SSE random number generator presented by intel:

Cheers,

ok, thanks for the link, though I'm not really interested to include it myself, but if someone want to, then why not.

As benoit noted here viewtopic.php?f=74&t=90829#p173575 pseudo-random number generators are not a focus of Eigen at all. If one is to be implemented, I would suggest using a SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister, though.

A question to the developers:
Does that mean, that you won't write an optimized pseudo-random number generator yourself, but patches are welcome and would be accepted; or does that mean that even if you would get such a patch, you would not accept it because you don't want to increase the lines of the source code for that?
