Elementary cellular automaton/Random number generator

From Rosetta Code
Task
Elementary cellular automaton/Random number generator
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Rule 30 is considered to be chaotic enough to generate good pseudo-random numbers. As a matter of fact, rule 30 is used by the Mathematica software for its default random number generator.

Steven Wolfram's recommendation for random number generation from rule 30 consists in extracting successive bits in a fixed position in the array of cells, as the automaton changes state.

The purpose of this task is to demonstrate this. With the code written in the parent task, which you don't need to re-write here, show the ten first bytes that emerge from this recommendation. To be precise, you will start with a state of all cells but one equal to zero, and you'll follow the evolution of the particular cell whose state was initially one. Then you'll regroup those bits by packets of eight, reconstituting bytes with the first bit being the most significant.

You can pick which ever length you want for the initial array but it should be visible in the code so that your output can be reproduced with an other language.

For extra-credits, you will make this algorithm run as fast as possible in your language, for instance with an extensive use of bitwise logic.

Haskell

Assume the comonadic solution given at Elementary cellular automaton#Haskell is packed in a module CellularAutomata

<lang Haskell>import CellularAutomata (fromList, rule, runCA) import Control.Comonad import Data.List (unfoldr)

rnd = fromBits <$> unfoldr (pure . splitAt 8) bits 

 where
   size = 80
   bits =
     extract
       <$> runCA
         (rule 30)
         (fromList (1 : replicate size 0))

fromBits = foldl ((+) . (2 *)) 0</lang>

Output:
λ> take 10 rnd

Using the rule 30 CA it is possible to determine the RandomGen instance which could be utilized by the Random class:

<lang Haskell>import System.Random

instance RandomGen (Cycle Int) where 

 next c =
   let x = c =>> step (rule 30)
    in (fromBits (view x), x)
 split = (,) <*> (fromList . reverse . view)</lang>

λ> let r30 = fromList [1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1] :: Cycle Int

λ> take 15 $ randoms r30
[7509,4949,2517,2229,2365,2067,6753,5662,5609,7576,2885,3017,2912,5081,2356]

λ> take 30 $ randomRs ('A','J') r30
"DHJHHFJHBDDFCBHACHDEHDHFBAEJFE"

We can compare it with standard generator on a small integer range, using simple bin counter: 

λ> let bins lst = [ (n, length (filter (==n) lst)) | n <- nub lst]

λ> bins . take 10000 . randomRs ('A','J') $ r30
[('D',1098),('H',1097),('J',1093),('F',850),('B',848),('C',1014),('A',1012),('E',1011),('G',1253),('I',724)]

λ> bins . take 10000 . randomRs ('A','J') <$> getStdGen
[('G',975),('B',1035),('F',970),('J',1034),('I',956),('H',984),('C',1009),('E',1023),('A',1009),('D',1005)]

ca is a cellular automata class.

Tcl

Works with: Tcl version 8.6

<lang tcl>oo::class create RandomGenerator { 

   superclass ElementaryAutomaton
   variable s
   constructor {stateLength} {

next 30 set s [split 1[string repeat 0 $stateLength] ""] 

   }

   method rand {} {

set bits {} while {[llength $bits] < 8} { lappend bits [lindex $s 0] set s [my evolve $s] } return [scan [join $bits ""] %b] 

   }

}</lang> Demonstrating: <lang tcl>set rng [RandomGenerator new 31] for {set r {}} {[llength $r]<10} {} { 

   lappend r [$rng rand]

} puts [join $r ,]</lang>

Output:
220,197,147,174,241,126,135,130,143,234

Note that as the number of state bits is increased (the parameter to the constructor), the sequence tends to a limit of and that deviations from this are due to interactions between the state modification “wavefront” as the automaton wraps round.

Wren

Translation of: Go
Library: Wren-big

As Wren cannot deal accurately with 64-bit unsigned integers and bit-wise operations thereon, we need to use BigInt here. <lang ecmascript>import "/big" for BigInt

var n = 64

var pow2 = Fn.new { |x| BigInt.one << x }

var evolve = Fn.new { |state, rule| 

   for (p in 0..9) {
       var b = BigInt.zero
       for (q in 7..0) {
           var st = state.copy()
           b = b | ((st & 1) << q)
           state = BigInt.zero
           for (i in 0...n) {
               var t1 = (i > 0) ? st >> (i-1) : st >> 63
               var t2 = (i == 0) ? st << 1 : (i == 1) ? st << 63 : st << (n+1-i)
               var t3 = (t1 | t2) & 7
               if ((pow2.call(t3) & rule) != BigInt.zero) state = state | pow2.call(i)
           }
       }
       System.write(" %(b)")
   }
   System.print()

}

zkl

No attempts at extra credit and not fast. <lang zkl>fcn rule(n){ n=n.toString(2); "00000000"[n.len() - 8,*] + n } fcn applyRule(rule,cells){

     n=n*2 + cells[-1];          // append bit 0
     cells=applyRule(r30,cells); // next state
