| XoroshiroNOT is an extrapolation of xoroshiro++, by S. Vigna and D. Blackman. | |
| XoroshiroNOT may also be referred to as Xoroshiro++- or Xoroshiroppm. | |
| XoroshiroNOT purports to improve upon their work by over-provisioning the underlying xoroshiro state by 50% and flipping the rotate/shift direction, thus providing these many features and characteristics: | |
| 1. Near-ideal pseudo randomness within a given period that is (perhaps uniquely) explicitly defined by, but greater than that inherent in, the underlying (xoroshiro) base generator randomness and period: | |
| A. Randomness period = wordsize^2 - 1, which is easily testable with 8-bit byte and 16-bit word size versions. | |
| B. 16-bit word, 32-bit dword and 64-bit qword versions pass TestU01 BigCr |
