A random-number-generation (RNG) algorithm.
Many random-number generators (e.g. the alg
argument of
tf.random.Generator
and tf.random.stateless_uniform
) in TF allow
you to choose the algorithm used to generate the (pseudo-)random
numbers. You can set the algorithm to be one of the options below.
PHILOX
: The Philox algorithm introduced in the paper "Parallel
Random Numbers: As Easy as 1, 2,
3".
THREEFRY
: The ThreeFry algorithm introduced in the paper
"Parallel Random Numbers: As Easy as 1, 2,
3".
AUTO_SELECT
: Allow TF to automatically select the algorithm
depending on the accelerator device. Note that with this option,
running the same TF program on different devices may result in
different random numbers. Also note that TF may select an
algorithm that is different from PHILOX
and THREEFRY
.
