fastrand
Fast pseudorandom number generator.
Features
- Optimized for speed.
- Performance scales on multiple CPUs.
How does it work?
It abuses sync.Pool for maintaining "per-CPU" pseudorandom number generators.
TODO: firgure out how to use real per-CPU pseudorandom number generators.

As you can see, fastrand.Uint32n
scales on multiple CPUs, while rand.Int31n
doesn't scale. Their performance is comparable on GOMAXPROCS=1
,
but fastrand.Uint32n
runs 3x faster than rand.Int31n
on GOMAXPROCS=2
and 10x faster than rand.Int31n
on GOMAXPROCS=4
.
