Parallel White Noise Generation on a GPU via Cryptographic Hash
Parallel White Noise Generation on a GPU via Cryptographic Hash

This is a technique that generates uniform random numbers in a totally parallel and random-accessible fashion. The basic idea is very simple: given an input that can be trivially produced in parallel (e.g. a linear ramp), use cryptographic hash to scramble the individual samples independently and in parallel, and the output set will exhibit white noise statistics.
