The objective of sitmo (CRAN, GitHub) is to provide the means for performing parallel draws from a Parallel Pseudo Random Number Generator (PPRNG). To that end, the package is largely a bridge into the PPRNGs developed by the sitmo consultancy agency.

Within this release, sitmo now contains the Threefry engine (Salmon et al., 2011 doi:10.1145/2063384.2063405) and Vandercorput engine (van der Corput, 1935 <an:0012.34705>). We’ve also added a contributor Ralf Stubner who provided a patch to ensure the C++11 compatibility of the Threefry engine.

sitmo is now being used by both bssm and dqrng.
