public class XorShift64NonThreadsafeRandom
extends Random

Replacement for Java's Random class, using a different random number generation strategy. Java's random generator is optimized for speed, but may lack the randomness needed for more complex experiments. This approach is based on the work on XorShift64* by Sebastiano Vigna, with the original copyright statement:
