Detailed Description

Various utilities used with MC tools.

This group collects auxiliary building blocks used by the MC framework, most prominently the random number generator:

triqs::mc_tools::random_generator is a type-erased wrapper around a pseudo-random engine. The engine is selected at construction by name ("mt19937", several "lagged_fibonacci..." variants, "ranlux3", and the built-in Mersenne Twister); samples are produced in batches into an internal buffer for efficiency. Overloaded operator() returns either a uniform double in \( [0,1) \) or a uniform integer in \( \{0, ..., i-1 \} \), and the generator state can be serialised to HDF5 for reproducible restarts.

The list of available engine names is exposed at runtime via triqs::mc_tools::random_generator_names_list.
