We demonstrate that independent, keyed transformations of counters produce a large alternative class of pseudorandom number generators with excellent statistical properties. These counter-based PRNGs are ideally suited to modern multi-core CPUs, GPUs, clusters, and special-purpose hardware because they vectorize and parallelize well, and require little or no memory for state.
