    abstract  = {Techniques and mechanisms providing a mode of random number generation to satisfy a requirement for a consumer of random numbers. In an embodiment, a device comprises a Gaussian random number generator (GRNG) circuit, multiple uniform random number generator URNG circuits, and circuitry which is coupled between the GRNG circuit and the URNG circuits. Based on an indication of one or more required performance characteristics and/or one or more required statistical characteristics, a controller identifies a corresponding one of multiple available random number generation (RNG) modes. The controller communicates control signals to provide the mode with the circuitry. In another embodiment, the control signals configure the circuitry to select one or more of the URNG circuits for use in calculating random numbers with the GRNG circuit.},
