To be able to provide cross-platform reproducibility of simulations, Allpix Squared uses random number distributions from the Boost.Random library. Their implementation is fixed and therefore does not depend on the standard library of the respective platform. For ease of use, the most common ones are exported to the `allpix::` namespace. The pseudo-random number generator used for event seeds and random number generation within modules is the `std::mt19937_64`, a 64-bit Mersenne Twister algorithm. In order to allow for debugging of the random number distribution in a multithreaded environment, Allpix Squared provides the `allpix::RandomNumberGenerator` wrapper around the STL object, which allows to print every random number drawn from the generator to the logging facilities when setting the log level to `PRNG`.
