The PCG family of Random Number Generators combines properties not previously seen together in the same generation scheme: + It's really easy to use, and yet its very flexible and offers powerful features (including some that allow you to perform silly party tricks). + It's very fast, and can occupy very little space. + It has small code size. + It's performance in statistical tests is excellent (see the PCG paper for full details). + It's much less predictable and thus more secure than most generators. + It's open source software, with a permissive license (the Apache license).
