+/// xorshift64star Pseudo-Random Number Generator
+/// This class is based on original code written and dedicated
+/// to the public domain by Sebastiano Vigna (2014).
+/// It has the following characteristics:
+///
+/// - Outputs 64-bit numbers
+/// - Passes Dieharder and SmallCrush test batteries
+/// - Does not require warm-up, no zeroland to escape
+/// - Internal state is a single 64-bit integer
+/// - Period is 2^64 - 1
+/// - Speed: 1.60 ns/call (Core i7 @3.40GHz)
+///
+/// For further analysis see
+/// <http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/xorshift.pdf>
