PetscRandomRegister

Adds a new PetscRandom component implementation

Synopsis

#include "petscsys.h" 
PetscErrorCode  PetscRandomRegister(const char sname[], PetscErrorCode (*function)(PetscRandom))
Not Collective

Input Parameters

name - The name of a new user-defined creation routine
create_func - The creation routine itself

Notes

PetscRandomRegister() may be called multiple times to add several user-defined randome number generators

Sample usage

    PetscRandomRegister("my_rand",  MyPetscRandomtorCreate);

Then, your random type can be chosen with the procedural interface via

    PetscRandomCreate(MPI_Comm, PetscRandom *);
    PetscRandomSetType(PetscRandom,"my_random_name");
or at runtime via the option
    -random_type my_random_name

Notes: For an example of the code needed to interface your own random number generator see src/sys/random/impls/rand/rand.c

Keywords
