	Splitmix64 is the default pseudo-random number generator algorithm in Java and is included / available in many other languages. It uses a fairly simple algorithm that, though it is considered to be poor for cryptographic purposes, is very fast to calculate, and is "good enough" for many random number needs. It passes several fairly rigorous PRNG "fitness" tests that some more complex algorithms fail.
