Abstract

In today’s rapid changing world, systems are more complex than those in the past, and different techniques such as simulation must be used to analyse them. Due to random existent situations in most of systems, the random aspect of simulation plays a significant role in this regard. Thus, randomization can be considered in simulation models by using random numbers and random variates. This paper compares one of the algorithms of generating random variates named “uniform fractional part , with other algorithms in the area of random variates. The study shows that the performance of this algorithm is much better than others with respect to speed and accuracy. Finally, a number of suggestions to improve the performance of the mentioned algorithm will be presented.
