Abstract: In large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, reliable random numbers will soon be needed at bit rates of 1 GHz or more. Therefore, existing recipes for the generation of random numbers have to be improved. This is not easy, due to the many unrelated and laborious statistical tests needed to compensate for the lack of an accepted and operational definition of randomness. When however the notion of randomness as a complete absence of all correlations is made precise, a practical approach results.
