Sirius64 is the fastest of all statistically valid generators in this table
This project is the culmination of more than six years of research dedicated to the design, analysis, and implementation of novel pseudorandom number generators and hash functions. During this journey, I designed and tested dozens of original algorithms, wrote thousands of lines of experimental code, and performed extensive validation against both theoretical expectations and empirical benchmarks.
The path was rarely straightforward. Many prototypes were abandoned after revealing subtle statistical weaknesses, insufficient diffusion properties, or structural limitations. Others showed promise but ultimately failed to meet the standards required for publication-quality results. Each success was built upon numerous failures, refinements, and new insights gained through continuous experimentation.
Throughout these years, I explored a wide range of techniques, from mixing functions and state-transition mechanisms to avalanche behavior, collision resistance, and large-scale statistical testing. Every design was evaluated not only for speed and simplicity, but also for its mathematical soundness and long-term statistical reliability.
Sirius64 is therefore more than a single algorithm. It is the result of accumulated experience, countless experiments, extensive testing, and a genuine fascination with the challenge of generating high-quality randomness from deterministic processes.
I hope that the work presented here may contribute, even in a small way, to the broader community of researchers, developers, and enthusiasts interested in random number generation. If the ideas, methods, results, or lessons learned from this project prove useful to others, then the effort invested over these years will have achieved its purpose.
Sirius64 represents a major advancement in the landscape of non-cryptographic pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs), successfully reconciling extreme throughput with rigorous statistical quality.
In contrast to traditional high-speed generators that often exhibit structural vulnerabilities under prolonged empirical testing, Sirius64 demonstrates flawless empirical behavior. It successfully clears all standard comprehensive testing suites, including deep PractRand evaluations and strict collision tests, proving capable of generating ideal, indistinguishable white noise.
Consequently, until proven otherwise, Sirius64 stands as the fastest statistically sound PRNG in existence, delivering near-optimal CPU cycle efficiency without compromising statistical integrity.
This unique combination makes it an ideal candidate for high-performance computing, large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, and environments where execution speed and absolute statistical reliability are both critical constraints.

We decided to use SmokeRand (v. 0.48-gcc-linux64) as an initial test tool rather than Dieharder as it is a new tool that we found to be more reliable and accurate.
We ran 12 full runs with 64-bit inputs; 10 runs with random seeds, and 2 runs with limit seeds (0 and UINT64_MAX).
The output files are in the test_smokerand/ directory.
Each full run performs 50 tests, for a total of 600 tests.
No failures were detected, and one suspect were found, a number consistent with the expected value.
All runs scored a quality of 4 (good) on a scale from 0 to 4.

Two complementary PractRand test campaigns were performed using independently generated random seeds.
The broad campaign provides extensive seed coverage, while the deep campaign provides substantial testing depth.
Together, these approaches assess both cross-seed robustness and long-range statistical behavior.

No failures or suspicious results were observed. Three isolated "unusual" p-values appeared across the entire test campaign, all at different seeds and data volumes, with no recurrence or progressive deterioration. The observed behaviour is consistent with the expected statistical false-positive rate of PractRand.
A total of 300 BigCrush runs were performed using 100 independent seeds. For each seed, the High32, Mid32 and Low32 portions of the 64-bit output stream were tested separately, producing 48,000 individual TestU01 statistics.
No failures were observed. A total of 104 anomalies were detected, compared to 96.0 expected under the null hypothesis of perfect randomness.
Anomalies were evenly distributed across High32, Mid32 and Low32 outputs (33, 36 and 35 respectively), with no evidence of concentration in any specific test family. The balance between upper-tail and lower-tail p-values (54 vs 50) was close to ideal, and no p-values below 10⁻⁶ were observed.
Overall, the results are fully consistent with the behavior expected from a high-quality random number generator and provide no evidence of systematic statistical weaknesses.

This table summarizes the distribution of anomalous p-values by order of magnitude.
For p-values close to 0, the p-value itself is used. For p-values close to 1, the residual value (1 − p) is used instead. In other words, all anomalies are measured by their distance from the nearest distribution boundary (0 or 1).
Examples:
- p = 0.00042 → residual value = 0.00042
- p = 0.99958 → residual value = 0.00042
- p = 0.999991 → residual value = 9.0 × 10⁻⁶
This normalization allows upper-tail and lower-tail anomalies to be analyzed together and compared within the same magnitude intervals.
For a perfectly random generator, the residual values are expected to follow a uniform distribution, implying that the number of anomalies should decrease by approximately a factor of ten for each successive interval.
| p-value Interval | Found | Expected |

This table displays the breakdown of p-values close to 1 (top) and close to 0 (bottom); in an ideal uniform distribution the values should be equal.

Ten independent collision-counting runs were performed using different initial seeds. Exact collision counts were measured using ColFinder, an open-source tool developed specifically for large-scale PRNG collision analysis.
For 16 × 10^9 generated 64-bit values, the theoretical expected number of collisions is 6.94. The observed average was 6.8 collisions, showing excellent agreement with the random-mapping model. Individual runs produced between 2 and 13 collisions, a range fully consistent with the expected Poisson distribution governing collision events in a 64-bit output space.

Sirius64 has successfully passed extensive empirical validation including TestU01 BigCrush, multiple PractRand runs up to 64 TB, collision-counting experiments consistent with theoretical expectations, and more than 12.5 PB of Hamming-Weight Dependency testing without significant anomalies.
The combined evidence suggests no detectable statistical weaknesses within the tested range.

Sirius64 achieves performance comparable to SplitMix64, requiring only 5.0 CPU cycles for each 64-bit value generated. Benchmark results show that Sirius64 performs virtually equally well to SplitMix64 and is significantly faster than all others.
Please note that SplitMix64 is not statistically valid as it fails the 64-bit collisions test.
The benchmark was run on several other computers, and in some cases the rankings changed, but sirius64 is still the fastest of all statistically valid generators.
