We report large systematic errors in Monte Carlo simulations of the tricritical Blume–Capel model using single spin Metropolis updating. The error, manifest as a 20% asymmetry in the magnetization distribution, is traced to the interplay between strong triplet correlations in the shift register random number generator and the large tricritical clusters. The effect of these correlations is visible only when the system volume is a multiple of the random number generator lag parameter. No such effects are observed in related models.

The choice of pseudo random number generators is a major problem in many areas of activity, one of the areas that uses them intensively it is the field of cryptography. Although they are applicable to any programming paradigm, these generators can be used successfully in the statistical analysis of thermodynamic behaviors, so, they must be designed individually to meet the requirements of each type of client. The research for new pseudorandom number generators with higher level of security is a field in great expansion, but the factors that influence us to use a product are not always this high level of security, but features such as ease of implementation or rapidity of generation. The design of a pseudo-random number generator needs to consider various characteristics simultaneously, which can be regarded as a optimization problem. The purpose of the article is to give a overview of the characteristics that a pseudo-random generator must meet in different fields, to define an objective function that encompasses these features, and create a mathematical optimization problem in order to achieve the maximum of properties that a pseudo-random number generator can give.

A modification to the Monte Carlo method is described which reduces calculation time and improves the accuracy. This method—termed “Exodus”—is not dependent upon a random number generator and may be applied to any problem which admits of a nodal network.

We present the first tests and results from a study of QCD with two flavours of dynamical Wilson fermions using the Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm (HMCA) on APE100 machines. The simulations have been performed on 64 lattice for the pure gauge HMCA and on 84, 123×32 lattices for full QCD configurations. We discuss the inversion algorithm for the fermionic operator, the methods used to overcome the problems arising using a 32 bit machine and the implementation of a new random number generator for APE100 machines. We propose different scenarios for the simulation of physical observables, with respect to the memory capacity and speed of different APE100 configurations.
