In this brief note we describe a technique that we have used to generate pseudorandom numbers on a CYBER-205 at an average rate of one per minor cycle. Our aim is to generate the identical sequence of random numbers which is produced by the CYBER-205 intrinsic subroutine VRANF, but at a faster rate. The general principles can be implemented on any SIMD machine, including array processors and CRAY's.
