In searching for statistically sound multipliers for the prime modulus
multiplicative congruential random number generator for 16-bit microc
omputers, an exhaustive analysis is conducted over the 10,912 primitiv
e roots of the modulus 2(15)-19=32,749. The result shows that there ar
e only 227 good multipliers among the 10,912 candidate multipliers. He
re a multiplier is said to be good if its corresponding generator has
good statistical properties and computational efficiency.
