An algorithm is presented for generating uniformly distributed random deviates on microprocessors or minicomputers utizizing memories with a small word- Zength. other alternative solutions are discussed, and the statistical quality of sample streams of generated numbers is evaluated and compared with the quality of other widely used generators.
