Detailed Description

Pcg32Rng is a permutating linear congruential PRNG. At the core, this pseudo random number generator uses the well known linear congruential generator: 6364136223846793005 * accumulator + 1442695040888963407 mod 2^64. See also TAOCP by D. E. Knuth, section 3.3.4, table 1, line 26. For good statistical performance, the output function of the permuted congruential generator family is used as described on http://www.pcg-random.org/. Period length for this generator is 2^64, the specified seed offset chooses the position of the genrator and the seed sequence parameter can be used to choose from 2^63 distinct random sequences.
