Finally, the following notation is used: $\llbracket1;N\rrbracket=\{1,2,\hdots,N\}$. + + +Consider a topological space $(\mathcal{X},\tau)$ and a continuous function $f : \mathcal{X} \rightarrow \mathcal{X}$. + +\begin{definition} +$f$ is said to be \emph{topologically transitive} if, for any pair of open sets $U,V \subset \mathcal{X}$, there exists $k>0$ such that $f^k(U) \cap V \neq \varnothing$. +\end{definition} + +\begin{definition} +An element $x$ is a \emph{periodic point} for $f$ of period $n\in \mathds{N}^*$ if $f^{n}(x)=x$.% The set of periodic points of $f$ is denoted $Per(f).$ +\end{definition} + +\begin{definition} +$f$ is said to be \emph{regular} on $(\mathcal{X}, \tau)$ if the set of periodic points for $f$ is dense in $\mathcal{X}$: for any point $x$ in $\mathcal{X}$, any neighborhood of $x$ contains at least one periodic point (without necessarily the same period). +\end{definition} + + +\begin{definition} +$f$ is said to be \emph{chaotic} on $(\mathcal{X},\tau)$ if $f$ is regular and topologically transitive. +\end{definition} + +The chaos property is strongly linked to the notion of ``sensitivity'', defined on a metric space $(\mathcal{X},d)$ by: + +\begin{definition} +\label{sensitivity} $f$ has \emph{sensitive dependence on initial conditions} +if there exists $\delta >0$ such that, for any $x\in \mathcal{X}$ and any neighborhood $V$ of $x$, there exist $y\in V$ and $n > 0$ such that $d\left(f^{n}(x), f^{n}(y)\right) >\delta $. + +$\delta$ is called the \emph{constant of sensitivity} of $f$. +\end{definition} + +Indeed, Banks \emph{et al.} have proven in~\cite{Banks92} that when $f$ is chaotic and $(\mathcal{X}, d)$ is a metric space, then $f$ has the property of sensitive dependence on initial conditions (this property was formerly an element of the definition of chaos). To sum up, quoting Devaney in~\cite{Devaney}, a chaotic dynamical system ``is unpredictable because of the sensitive dependence on initial conditions. It cannot be broken down or simplified into two subsystems which do not interact because of topological transitivity. And in the midst of this random behavior, we nevertheless have an element of regularity''. Fundamentally different behaviors are consequently possible and occur in an unpredictable way. + + + +\subsection{Chaotic iterations} +\label{sec:chaotic iterations} + + +Let us consider a \emph{system} with a finite number $\mathsf{N} \in +\mathds{N}^*$ of elements (or \emph{cells}), so that each cell has a +Boolean \emph{state}. Having $\mathsf{N}$ Boolean values for these + cells leads to the definition of a particular \emph{state of the +system}. A sequence which elements belong to $\llbracket 1;\mathsf{N} +\rrbracket $ is called a \emph{strategy}.

In general, +the larger the number of threads is, the more local memory is used and the less +branching instructions are used (if, while, ...), the better performance is +obtained on GPU. So with algorithm \ref{algo:seqCIprng} presented in the +previous section, it is possible to build a similar program which computes PRNG +on GPU. + + +\subsection{Naive version} + +From the CPU version, it is possible to obtain a quite similar version for GPU. +The principe consists in assigning the computation of a PRNG as in sequential to +each thread of the GPU. Of course, it is essential that the three xor-like +PRNGs used for our computation have different parameters. So we chose them +randomly with another PRNG. As the initialisation is performed by the CPU, we +have chosen to use the ISAAC PRNG [ref] to initalize all the parameters for the +GPU version of our PRNG. The implementation of the three xor-like PRNGs is +straightforward as soon as their parameters have been allocated in the GPU +memory. Each xor-like PRNGs used works with an internal number $x$ which keeps +the last generated random numbers. Other internal variables are also used by the +xor-like PRNGs. More precisely, the implementation of the xor128, the xorshift +and the xorwow respectively require 4, 5 and 6 unsigned long as internal +variables. + +\begin{algorithm} + +\KwIn{InternalVarXorLikeArray: array with internal variables of the 3 xor-like PRNGs in global memory\; +NumThreads: Number of threads\;} +\KwOut{NewNb: array containing random numbers in global memory} +\If{threadId is concerned} { + retrieve data from InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId] in local variables\; + \For{i=1 to n} { + compute a new PRNG as in Listing\ref{algo:seqCIprng}\; + store the new PRNG in NewNb[NumThreads*threadId+i]\; + } + store internal variables in InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId]\; +} + +\caption{main kernel for the chaotic iterations based PRNG GPU version} +\label{algo:gpu_kernel} +\end{algorithm} + +According to the available memory in the GPU and the number of threads used +simultenaously, the number of random numbers that a thread can generate inside a +kernel is limited, i.e. the variable \texttt{n} in +algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel}. For example, if $100,000$ threads are used and +if $n=100$\footnote{in fact, we need to add the initial seed (a 32-bits number)} +then the memory required to store internals variables of xor-like +PRNGs\footnote{we multiply this number by $2$ in order to count 32-bits numbers} +and random number of our PRNG is equals to $100,000\times ((4+5+6)\times +2+(1+100))=1,310,000$ 32-bits numbers, i.e. about $52$Mb. + +All the tests performed to pass the BigCrush of TestU01 succeeded. Different +number of threads have been tested upto $10$ millions. + +\begin{remark} +Algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel} has the advantage to manipulate independent +PRNGs, so this version is easily usable on a cluster of computer. The only thing +to ensure is to use a single ISAAC PRNG. For this, a simple solution consists in +using a master node for the initialization which computes the initial parameters +for all the differents nodes involves in the computation. +\end{remark} + +\subsection{Version more suited to GPU} + +As GPU offers shared memory mechanism between threads of the same block, it is +possible to use this in order to simplify the previous algorithm, i.e. using +less than 3 xor-like PRNGs.
