random number generator

Hi,

Does anybody need a random number generator? This is the one on opencore.org and I created any Quartus project to test the fmax on Stratix III fpga, and modified the testbench to store output to an file. I also created a modelsim tcl script so if you want simulate it just go into the ./sim directory and execute the file rng_modelsim.tcl. It will generate uniform random noise.

    Pseudo-random number generator, I think -- it will have the same sequence of states after power up, given the same initial seed. Good for many purposes, but not for all. There is no random process involved, just a complicated one.
