cupy.random.RandomState#

class cupy.random.RandomState(seed=None, method=100)[source]#

Portable container of a pseudo-random number generator.

An instance of this class holds the state of a random number generator. The state is available only on the device which has been current at the initialization of the instance.

Functions of cupy.random use global instances of this class. Different instances are used for different devices. The global state for the current device can be obtained by the cupy.random.get_random_state() function.

Parameters
  • seed (None or int) – Seed of the random number generator. See the seed() method for detail.

  • method (int) –

    Method of the random number generator. Following values are available:

    cupy.cuda.curand.CURAND_RNG_PSEUDO_DEFAULT
    cupy.cuda.curand.CURAND_RNG_PSEUDO_XORWOW
    cupy.cuda.curand.CURAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MRG32K3A
    cupy.cuda.curand.CURAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MTGP32
    cupy.cuda.curand.CURAND_RNG_PSEUDO_MT19937
    cupy.cuda.curand.CURAND_RNG_PSEUDO_PHILOX4_32_10
