Originally published as pepoluan.xoshiro

This is a hand-optimized C# implementation of the xoshiro/xoroshiro PRNG family created by Sebastiano Vigna and David Blackman.

NO unsafe code is used, yet it is as performant as -- if not more performant than -- System.Random. Here's a non-exhaustive proof.

For documentation -- and a much more detailed README -- please check XoshiroPRNG.Net Repository on SourceForge.

(Unit Tests are also available in the repo.)
