Dieharder is a random number generator (RNG) testing suite, designed
|
|
|
|
|
to make it easy to time and test RNGs implemented in both software and
|
|
|
|
|
hardware. It makes extensive use of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL),
|
|
|
|
|
and includes a battery of pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) and
|
|
|
|
|
testing algorithms for research and cryptographic applications.

The software saw its last release in 2011, and patches are applied
|
|
|
|
|
mostly to overcome differences with newer versions of autoconf. This
|
|
|
|
|
build installs the dieharder program as well as the libdieharder
|
|
|
|
|
shared libraries that can be called from your program code.
