True random numbers in Sol10
Hi everyone
I just got my hands on a T5120 running Sol10. As far as I've read, the T2 chip has a built-in hardware number generator. My question is: how can I access it to get random numbers in either C or Fortran? I'm using Sun Studio 12.4.
I am currently trying to write an application for simulating stochastic motion of Brownian particles and being able to get true random numbers instead of pseudo-random numbers is of great use for me.
Thank you in advance

NAME
slarnv.f -
SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines
subroutine slarnv (IDIST, ISEED, N, X)
SLARNV returns a vector of random numbers from a uniform or normal distribution.
Function/Subroutine Documentation
subroutine slarnv (integerIDIST, integer, dimension( 4 )ISEED, integerN, real, dimension( * )X)
SLARNV returns a vector of random numbers from a uniform or normal distribution.
Purpose:
SLARNV returns a vector of n random real numbers from a uniform or
normal distribution.
Parameters:
IDIST
IDIST is INTEGER
Specifies the distribution of the random numbers:
= 1: uniform (0,1)
= 2: uniform (-1,1)
= 3: normal (0,1)
ISEED
ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4)
On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array
elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be
odd.
On exit, the seed is updated.
N
N is INTEGER
The number of random numbers to be generated.
X
X is REAL array, dimension (N)
The generated random numbers.

Further Details:
This routine calls the auxiliary routine SLARUV to generate random
real numbers from a uniform (0,1) distribution, in batches of up to
128 using vectorisable code. The Box-Muller method is used to
transform numbers from a uniform to a normal distribution.
