There are 2 random generators. The Marsaglia generator used by the CPU
version (and implemented on GPUs), and the actual CUDA random number
generator included as part of the CUDA API/language (curand):
http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda/curand
For learning CUDA, I would suggest leveraging the capabilities of curand
(on the website) rather than implementing your own (which is only done for
testing purposes in pmemd.cuda). The relevant file in pmemd.cuda is rather
cleverly named kRandom.h (in src/pmemd/src/cuda/) ;).
