A New Random Number Generator with a New Cellular Automata Model
Mustak E. Yalcin, Emre Göncü
Cellular Automata with Memory are Cellular Automata models in which next states of the cells depends on not only current states but also fixed previous states of the cells. In this paper, a new Cellular Automata model named Cellular Automata with Random Memory in which next states of the cells depends on randomly chosen previous states or current states of the cells is proposed. Furthermore, a Random Number Generator using Cellular Automata with Random Memory is suggested. The Cellular Automata with Random Memory and Random Number Generator is implemented in C. According to the experimental results, randomness of the random sequences generated by the Random Number Generator is greater than the randomness of the random sequences generated by the rand() function given in standard C library.
