RANDOM NUMBER generation

[vinodh475]

i have written verilog code for RANDOM NUMBER generation and it is generating list of random numbers(around more than 1000 and i can increase this number also). but i want to check the quality of random numbers that i have generated . can u please send me any algorithm to check quality of the RANDOM NUMBERS

thanks in advance

There are many test to check randomness you could be interested in:

System Verilog provides simple random feature.
Random is good, if you could resimulate with the same random number suit, in case a issue occurs and you want to debug.

generating truly random numbers can be difficult - some folks resort to using already proven random number tables. In the past, I found the extremes - near 0 and near 1 - to be under-represented. Tried to patch-up it up but the computation time become an issue
