HPL_setran(3)		      HPL Library Functions		   HPL_setran(3)

NAME
     HPL_setran - Manage the random number generator.

SYNOPSIS
     #include "hpl.h"

     void HPL_setran( const int OPTION, int * IRAN );

DESCRIPTION
     HPL_setran initializes  the random generator with the encoding of the first
     number X(0) in the sequence,  and the constants a and c used to compute the
     next  element  in	the  sequence:	X(n+1)	= a*X(n) + c.  X(0), a and c are
     stored in the static variables  irand, ias  and  ics.   When  OPTION  is  0
     (resp. 1 and 2),  irand  (resp. ia and ic)  is set to the values of the in-
     put  array  IRAN.	 When  OPTION  is 3, IRAN is set to the current value of
     irand, and irand is then incremented.

ARGUMENTS
     OPTION  (local input)	     const int
	     On entry, OPTION  is an integer that specifies the operations to be
	     performed on the random generator as specified above.

     IRAN    (local input/output)    int *
	     On entry,	IRAN is an array  of  dimension  2,  that  contains  the
	     16-lower and 15-higher bits of a random number.
