warp.rand\_init
===============

.. function:: warp._src.lang.rand_init(seed: int32) -> uint32

   .. hlist::
      :columns: 8

      * Kernel
      * Python

   Initialize a random number generator.
   
   Initialize from a user-defined seed.
   
   :returns: A 32-bit integer representing the RNG state.
   

.. function:: warp._src.lang.rand_init(seed: int32, offset: int32) -> uint32
   :noindex:

   .. hlist::
      :columns: 8

      * Kernel
      * Python

   Initialize a random number generator.
   
   Initialize from a user-defined seed and an offset.
   
   This alternative constructor can be useful in parallel programs, where a kernel as a whole should share a seed,
   but each thread should generate uncorrelated values. In this case usage should be ``r = rand_init(seed, tid)``.
