 \section{Introduction}
 

+Random  numbers are  used in  many scientific  applications and  simulations. On
+finite  state machines,  as computers,  it is  not possible  to  generate random
+numbers but only pseudo-random numbers. In practice, a good pseudo-random number
+generator (PRNG) needs  to verify some features to be used  by scientists. It is
+important  to  be  able  to  generate  pseudo-random  numbers  efficiently,  the
+generation  needs to  be reproducible  and a  PRNG needs  to satisfy  many usual
+statistical properties. Finally, from our point a view, it is essential to prove
+that  a PRNG  is  chaotic.  Concerning  the  statistical tests,  TestU01 is  the
+best-known public-domain statistical testing package.   So we use it for all our
+PRNGs, especially the {\it BigCrush}  which provides the largest serie of tests.
+Concerning  the  chaotic properties,  Devaney~\cite{Devaney}  proposed a  common
+mathematical formulation of chaotic dynamical systems.
+
+In a  previous work~\cite{bgw09:ip}  we have proposed  a new familly  of chaotic
+PRNG  based on  chaotic iterations  (IC). We  have proven  that these  PRNGs are
+chaotic in the Devaney's sense.  In this paper we propose a faster version which
+is also proven to be chaotic.
+
+Although graphics  processing units (GPU)  was initially designed  to accelerate
+the manipulation of  images, they are nowadays commonly  used in many scientific
+applications. Therefore,  it is important  to be able to  generate pseudo-random
+numbers inside a GPU when a scientific application runs in a GPU. That is why we
+also provide an efficient PRNG for GPU respecting based on IC.

+\section{Related works on GPU based PRNGs}
+
+In the litterature many authors have work on defining GPU based PRNGs. We do not
+want to be exhaustive and we just give the most significant works from our point
+of view.
+
+In \cite{Pang:2008:cec},  the authors define  a PRNG based on  cellular automata
+which  does   not  require  high  precision  integer   arithmetics  nor  bitwise
+operations. There is no mention of statistical tests nor proof that this PRNG is
+chaotic. Concerning  the speed  of generation, they  can generate  about 3200000
+random numbers per seconds on a GeForce 7800 GTX GPU (which is quite old now).
+
+In \cite{ZRKB10}, the authors propose  different versions of efficient GPU PRNGs
+based on  Lagged Fibonacci, Hybrid  Taus or Hybrid  Taus.  They have  used these
+PRNGs   for  Langevin   simulations   of  biomolecules   fully  implemented   on
+GPU. Performance of  the GPU versions are far better than  those obtained with a
+CPU and these PRNGs succeed to pass the {\it BigCrush} test of TestU01. There is
+no mention that their PRNGs have chaos mathematical properties.
+
+To the best of our knowledge no GPU implementation have been proven to have chaotic properties.

+\subsection{Theoretical Evaluation of the Improved Version}
+
+A run of Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel2} consists in four operations having 
+the form of Equation~\ref{equation Oplus}, which is equivalent to the iterative
+system of Eq.~\ref{eq:generalIC}. That is, four iterations of the general chaotic
+iterations are realized between two stored values of the PRNG.
+To be certain that we are in the framework of Theorem~\ref{t:chaos des general},
+we must guarantee that this dynamical system iterates on the space 
+$\mathcal{X} = \mathcal{P}\left(\llbracket 1, \mathsf{N} \rrbracket\right)^\mathds{N}\times\mathds{B}^\mathsf{N}$.
+The left term $x$ obviously belongs into $\mathds{B}^ \mathsf{N}$.
+To prevent from any flaws of chaotic properties, we must check that each right 
+term, corresponding to terms of the strategies,  can possibly be equal to any
+integer of $\llbracket 1, \mathsf{N} \rrbracket$. 
+
+Such a result is obvious for the two first lines, as for the xor-like(), all the
+integers belonging into its interval of definition can occur at each iteration.
+It can be easily stated for the two last lines by an immediate mathematical
+induction.
+
+Thus Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel2} is a concrete realization of the general
+chaotic iterations presented previously, and for this reason, it satisfies the 
+Devaney's formulation of a chaotic behavior.
