Mersenne Twister - Applications

Applications

The Mersenne Twister has been optimized for use with Monte Carlo simulations in a number of fields, including simulating complex biochemical pathways, photon migration, genome coalescence, cellular biology, and computational finance.

The Mersenne twister is the default random number generator for Python, Ruby, R, PHP, MATLAB and also available in C++ since C++11.

It is also used as an optional Random Number Generator in SPSS set through "Transform" menu. Add-on implementations are provided by the Boost C++ Libraries, NAG Numerical Library, and Glib.
