I’m looking for a device random number generator engine that reproduces the same sequence of random numbers as the C++11 std::mt19937 standard for a given seed. Will the pseudo code below provide it? int seed = 0; int nRand = 1; float randNum = -9; curandGenerator_t prngGPU curandCreateGenera…

Can’t you write a test to see if they produce the same sequence?

I wrote a test and the results don’t match, but I could be missing something.

curandCreateGenerator(me,CURAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MT19937) == C++11 std::mt19937?? ?

these identity is not guaranteed.
cuRAND supports curandCreateGeneratorHost() to generate random-engine for host.
