+In this chapter,  a PRNG based on chaotic iterations is  presented.   It is proven to be
+chaotic according to Devaney.   Efficient implementations  on GPU
+using xor-like PRNGs  as input generators have shown that  a very large quantity
+of pseudorandom  numbers can be  generated per second (about  20Gsamples/s on a Tesla C1060), and
+that these proposed PRNGs succeed in passing the hardest battery in TestU01, namely, the {\it BigCrush}.
