 |

| 18 |       This document explains how to compile dSFMT for users who
 | 
|---|
| 19 |       are using UNIX like systems (for example Linux, Free BSD,
 | 
|---|
| 20 |       cygwin, osx, etc) on terminal. I can't help those who use IDE
 | 
|---|
| 21 |       (Integrated Development Environment,) please see your IDE's help
 | 
|---|
| 22 |       to use SIMD feature of your CPU.

 |

| 26 |     <h4>1-1. Compile standard C test program.</h4>
 | 
|---|
| 27 |     <p>
 | 
|---|
| 28 |       Check if dSFMT.c and Makefile are in your current directory.
 | 
|---|
| 29 |       If not, <strong>cd</strong> to the directory where they exist.
 | 
|---|
| 30 |       Then, type
 |

 |

| 54 |       You will see many random numbers displayed on your screen.
 | 
|---|
| 55 |       If you want to check these random numbers are correct output,
 | 
|---|
| 56 |       redirect output to a file and <strong>diff</strong> it with
 | 
|---|
| 57 |       <strong>dSFMT.19937.out.txt</strong>, like this:</p>
 | 
|---|
| 58 |     <blockquote>
 | 
|---|
| 59 |       <pre>./test-std-M19937 -v > foo.txt
 | 
|---|
| 60 | diff -w foo.txt dSFMT.19937.out.txt</pre>
 | 
|---|
| 61 |     </blockquote>
 | 
|---|
| 62 |     <p>
 | 
|---|
| 63 |       Silence means they are the same because <strong>diff</strong>
 | 
|---|
| 64 |       reports the difference of two files.
 | 
|---|
| 65 |     </p>
 |

| 66 |     <p>
 |

| 67 |       If you want to know the generation speed of dSFMT, type

| 73 |       It is very slow. To make it fast, compile it
 | 
|---|
| 74 |       with <strong>-O3</strong> option. If your compiler is gcc, you
 | 
|---|
| 75 |       should specify <strong>-fno-strict-aliasing</strong> option
 | 
|---|
| 76 |       with <strong>-O3</strong>. type

| 83 |       If you are using gcc 4.0, you will get more performance of dSFMT
 | 
|---|
| 84 |       by giving additional options
 |

 |

| 92 |       If your CPU supports SSE2 and you can use gcc version 3.4 or later,

 | 
|---|
| 302 |     <p>
 | 
|---|
| 303 |       Here is <strong>sample3.c</strong> which modifies sample1.c.
 | 
|---|
| 304 |       The 32-bit integer seed can only make 2<sup>32</sup> kinds of
 | 
|---|
| 305 |       initial state, to avoid this problem, dSFMT
 | 
|---|
| 306 |       provides <strong>dsfmt_init_by_array</strong> function.  This sample
 | 
|---|
| 307 |       uses dsfmt_init_by_array function which initialize the internal state
 | 
|---|
| 308 |       array with an array of 32-bit. The size of an array can be
 | 
|---|
| 309 |       larger than the internal state array and all elements of the
 | 
|---|
| 310 |       array are used for initialization, but too large array is
 | 
|---|
| 311 |       wasteful.
