Randomization

RandomizationProvider

The pseudorandom numbers used by GeneticSharp are generated through RandomizationProvider.Current property.

The Current property holds an implementation of IRandomization. By default, an instance of FastRandomRandomization is available on this property.

IRandomizations implementations

There are two implementations of IRandomization available on GeneticSharp:

• BasicRandomization: uses the System.Random class to generate thread-safe pseudorandom numbers.
• FastRandomRandomization: uses the FastRandom class to generate thread-safe pseudorandom numbers.

Performance differences
