We describe a new algorithm SPLITMIX for an object-
oriented and splittable pseudorandom number generator
(PRNG) that is quite fast: 9 64-bit arithmetic/logical opera-
tions per 64 bits generated. A conventional linear PRNG ob-
ject provides a generate method that returns one pseudoran-
dom value and updates the
