- PCG families seem to be a nice choice, it's also worth considering.

Philox via Random123 (and others) can be used on a GPU: any way for this to plug in with ArrayFire.jl or CUDArt.jl?

Hi Chris, thank you for the suggestion.
Yes, I have considered accelerating some RNGs with GPU, but I was trying to write code in pure Julia at first.
Actually I want to make this package have as few requires as possible, and I don't know much about these GPU packages, so currently they are not used. Do you have any idea about which to choose?
from randomnumbers.jl.
You can think about making it a conditional dependency which requires the user to using CUDArt
for it to work (and not have it in requires). CUDArt.jl is definitely the way to go for this.

It sounds a good idea. I will have a try.
from randomnumbers.jl.
Here are two additional (fast?) RNGs which may be worth considering:
wyhash and lehmer's

@kafisatz thanks, I'll check it out.
