We have proposed an algorithm which constructs a primitive Xorshift RNG from a given prim- itive polynomial. We also have shown a weakness present in those RNGs and suggested its solution. A separate algorithm also proposed which returns a full periodic Xorshift generator with desired number of Xorshift operations.}, type={Article}, title={Xorshift random number generators from primitive polynomials}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/118539/PDF-MASTER/bishoi_Xorshift%20random%20number.pdf}, keywords={random number generators, Xorshift generator, primitive polynomials, linear feed-back shift registers, multiple-recursive matrix method}, }
