我的c ++随机数不是随机的

我正在运行

#include <boost/mpi.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <time.h>
namespace mpi = boost::mpi;

int main()
{
    mpi::environment env;
    mpi::communicator world;



    srand (time(NULL));
    std::srand(time(0) + world.rank());
    int my_number = std::rand();
    if (world.rank() == 0) {
        std::vector<int> all_numbers;
        gather(world, my_number, all_numbers, 0);
        for (int proc = 0; proc < world.size(); ++proc)
            std::cout << "Process #" << proc << " thought of "
            << all_numbers[proc] << std::endl;
    } else {
        gather(world, my_number, 0);
    }

    return 0;
}

以分配方式生成随机数,然而,它每次都给我一个大小相同的数字....

在网站http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/mpi/tutorial.html中,其他人说他们得到了:

Process #1 thought of 20145617
Process #2 thought of 1862420122
Process #3 thought of 480422940
Process #4 thought of 1253380219
Process #5 thought of 949458815
Process #6 thought of 650073868

我很困惑....有什么帮助吗?谢谢。

You Problem是cstdlib的rand()函数。它不是一个好的随机数发生器。如果你想在c ++中使用适当的随机数,请使用c ++ - 11或外部随机数生成器(例如mersenne twister)中的一些。 但是,在并行程序中使用随机数并非易事。你应该使用专门的随机数生成器(例如r250_omp.h)。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

问题很可能是由rand造成的。请参阅此问题的讨论和答案:First random number is always smaller than rest

似乎相邻种子(您的情况)生成的数字可能非常相关。兰德的实现可能会有所不同,对于某些实现,它似乎是一个更加明显的现象。

答案 2 :(得分:0)

我认为你的随机数应该是这样的:

int max=100, min=0;
srand(time(NULL));
int random = (rand() % (max-min)) + min;
