Скачать или смотреть Using the Intel Digital Random Number Generator with Visual Studio

From https://j2i.net / https://j2inet.blog

I needed to have a more random number source than the psuedo-random number generator that is a part of the C libraries. The Intel processors have a hardware random number generator built in. To use it there's a bit of assembler code that has to be written. Here I go through the process of using it. Some assembler code has to be written for it, but it's not a lot.

The assembler coded needed to actually retrieve a number from the DRNG (Digital Random Number Generator) is only a few lines long. Here it is.

RandomNumber proc
RDRAND RAX
ret;
RandomNumber endp

But how do you call this from C/C++? How do you know that the processor actually contains a DRNG? I address both of these within the video.

In the general case scenario I don't suggest the use of assembler. But if it is something in which you are interested here are a few resources for getting started. (Affiliate Links).
