    Abstract

    We present a library of 19 pseudo-random number generators, implemented for graphical processing units. The library is implemented in the OpenCL framework and empirically evaluated using the TestU01 library. Most of the presented generators pass the tests. The generators' performance is evaluated on five different devices. The Tyche-i generator is the best choice overall, while on some specific devices other generators are better.
