<p>synchronization or shared state.<br/>
* Since the generator does not require stepping through every intermediate state, it can "jump" to any point in the sequence in constant time. This is particularly useful in applications like <a href="page.php?w=Monte_Carlo_method">Monte Carlo simulations</a> where independent streams are needed.</p>

<p>Examples include:</p>

<p>
* Philox: Uses multiplication-based mixing to combine the counter and key.<br/>
* Threefry: Based on a reduced-strength version of the <a href="page.php?w=Threefish">Threefish</a> block</p><p>
