Description

There's a faster version of the MT PRNG out. I'll look at it and probably put it in Penn in a future release. See http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/SFMT/index.html

Selling point is that it's faster because it can use SIMD instructions. Needs configure support to pass the right defines in for the compilers/processors that it works on.
