The Mersenne Twister [11] is a twisted generalized feedback shift register generator. Details of the algorithm and the implementation adopted here can be found in [11].
This algorithm has a period length of approximately 2^(19,937)-1 and has been shown to be uniformly distributed in 623 dimensions.
