SetRun()

void ns3::RngSeedManager::SetRun ( uint64_t run )

static

Set the run number of simulation.

RngSeedManager::SetSeed(12);
int N = atol(argv[1]);      // Read in run number from command line.
RngSeedManager::SetRun(N);
UniformVariable x(0,10);
ExponentialVariable y(2902);

In this example, N could successively be equal to 1,2,3, etc. and the user would continue to get independent runs out of the single simulation. For this simple example, the following might work:

./simulation 0
...Results for run 0:...
 
./simulation 1
...Results for run 1:...

Parameters

[in]

run

The run number.

Here is the call graph for this function:

SetSeed()

void ns3::RngSeedManager::SetSeed ( uint32_t seed )

static

Set the seed.

This sets the global initial seed which will be used all subsequently instantiated RandomVariableStream objects.

RngSeedManager::SetSeed(15);
UniformVariable x(2,3);     // These will give the same output every time
ExponentialVariable y(120); // as long as the seed stays the same.

Parameters

[in]

seed

The seed value to use.

Note

While the underlying RNG takes six integer values as a seed; it is sufficient to set these all to the same integer, so we provide a simpler interface here that just takes one integer.

g_nextStreamIndex

uint64_t g_nextStreamIndex = 0

related

The next random number generator stream number to use for automatic assignment.

Definition at line 32 of file rng-seed-manager.cc.

g_rngRun

ns3::GlobalValue g_rngRun("RngRun", "The substream index used for all streams", ns3::UintegerValue(1), ns3::MakeUintegerChecker< uint64_t >())

related

The random number generator substream index.

This is used to generate new PRNG sequences for all streams (random variables) in such a manner that the streams remain uncorrelated. Incrementing this variable can be used for independent replications.

This is accessible as "--RngRun" from CommandLine.

g_rngSeed

ns3::GlobalValue g_rngSeed("RngSeed", "The global seed of all rng streams", ns3::UintegerValue(1), ns3::MakeUintegerChecker< uint32_t >())

related

The random number generator seed number global value.

This is used to generate an new master PRNG sequence. It is typically not modified by user programs; the variable RngRun is preferred for independent replications.

This is accessible as "--RngSeed" from CommandLine.
