From the Github repo: "Created by Daniel Cota after he fell down the PRNG rabbit-hole by circumstance." I understand how that can happen.
Wondering how this PRNG compares to PCG PRNGs that also claim to be "simple fast space-efficient statistically good algorithms" and "hard to predict" [0].
In any case, it's good to see the excellent work being accomplished in this space.
I just added PGC64 to benchmark.c in the Github. PCG64 speed looks to be about the same as xoroshiro128++.
Yes, indeed it is. While these PRNGs are all pretty decent, improvements are always welcome. Most impressive is the utter simplicity of the algorithms, including LoopMix128. Definitely makes it easy to incorporate high-quality PRNG functionality in applications.
