Generating N random numbers that add to a TOTAL

description: Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has suggestions on how to improve the function below. It seems ok for floating precision numbers. For integers it's a different story: It works great if N<<TOTAL. When N approaches TOTAL I get a few numbers and then a bunch of zeros... Also, setting /DIFFERENT makes it run for ever if N is large. Also, the sum of res adds up TOTAL=/-1, not always to TOTAL exactly... Suggestions? Thanks, Gianguido FUNCTION nrndaddto, n, total, integers = integers, different = different compile_opt idl2 res = dblarr(n) res[0] = randomu(seed, 1, /double)*(total) FOR i = 1, n-2 DO BEGIN res[i] = randomu(seed, 1, /double)*(total-total(res[0:i-1], /double)) ENDFOR res[n-1] = total-total(res[0:n-2], /double) IF ~keyword_set(integers) THEN integers = 0 IF keyword_set(integers) THEN res = round(res) IF keyword_set(different) THEN BEGIN IF n_elements(res) NE n_elements(unique(res, /sort)) THEN res = $ nrndaddto(n, total, integers = integers, different = 1) ENDIF RETURN, res END

description: Looking at the output of the above, it didn't seem like the numbers were uniformally distributed, so to speak... Just had a thought: If I generate N-1 numbers between 0 and TOTAL, then I could use the intervals between the sorted numbers no? Something like: n = 4 total = 100 r=randomu(seed,n-1)*total sr=[r[sort(r)], total] res= sr-shift(sr,1) res[0] = sr[0] print, res, total(res) Still have problems if I round the result. Don't always get total(res)=TOTAL...

description: So, the problem with the integers is that you recast floats as integers post facto. If you want integers and you want them to sum to a total, then you need to draw integers up front --- otherwise you're noe ensuring that the round(res) is always summing to total. But this is where you're going to run into trouble... At each step you're drawing a random number between 0 and the requested total *MINUS* the running total. If you plot the random number as a function of iteration variable, you'll see that the typical value is going down. In fact, near the end of your run, the value will be very small --- because you're converging to the requested total. Therefore, that random variable will often be zero (or 1 and rarely higher). That doesn't seem like a good thing, but maybe it is...

Since the running total is converging to the requested total, the numbers are getting smaller with time. That is almost certainly related to why your sequence doesn't seem uniform. R

description: You might have better luck with: n_rand_var = 1000 requested_total=1000. rand=randomu(seed,n_rand_var,/double) rand*=(requested_total/total(rand)) This looks to be uniformly distributed, however it's not clear over what range it's uniform because the total(rand) in the denominator isn't necessarily the same. In the limit of n_rand_var -> infinity, then I think the total will converge to n_rand_var/2 and so the range will be 2*requested_total/n_rand_var but for n_rand_var != infinity then it's a bit vague.

description: Hi Mike, I might be interested in GPULib. I see it's quite pricey (at least for my budget) and Tech-X offers a free trial. But before I go through the trouble of even getting the free trial, what else can you tell me about GPULib? Specifically, I was wondering about what hardware/software do I need to use GPULib? I use Mac OSX 10.8.5 and IDL 8.2.3 at present, and that sounded sufficient. But anything else I should be aware of? Such as GPU cards, RAM, etc.? Can you give any examples of the code usage? Like what will my IDL code now look like? What about if I need to port the code to another workstation? Anything else a GPU newbie (but seasoned IDLer) should know or should ask?

A couple of resources: * documentation for GPULib routines: http://www.txcorp.com/images/docs/gpulib/1.6.2/html/index.ht ml * I write about GPULib on my website occasionally, see: michaelgalloy.com/index.php?s=gpulib&submit=Search * The official blog is at hgpulib.blogspot.com > Specifically, I was wondering about what hardware/software do I need > to use GPULib?

Currently, you absolutely need to have CUDA-enabled GPU (any modern NVIDIA graphics card). The better the card, the better the performance. Most laptop GPUs can get 2-5x speedup on our demos, while top-end GPUs can get 40x or better speedups. For software, IDL 8.2 and CUDA 5.0 on OS X (10.7+), Windows (7, Server 2008), or Linux (CentOS5, CentOS6, RedHat Enterprise Linux 5, Fedora 16). If your software doesn't quite match up, I can usually make a custom build for you. > Can you give any examples of the code usage? Like what will my IDL > code now look like? It could be as simple as: gpuinit dx = gpuFindgen(10) dy = gpuFindgen(10) dz = dx + dy That last line could also be done this way: dz = gpuFltarr(10) dz = gpuAdd(dx, dy, LHS=dz) which can be more efficient in certain situations. There are basically a bunch of routines with the "gpu" prefix that have a similar interface as the normal IDL library routine, but take GPU variables instead of normal ones. See the API documentation link I gave above for a list of routines available. There are also several demos in the trial that you can see speedups and browse example code. > What about if I need to port the code to another workstation? S…
