An efficient parallelization of the generalized feedback shift register (GFSR) random number generator is presented. GFSR works on \(N=2^ m\) processors as a set of generators. The \(i\)-th generator produces the subsequence \(x_ i,x_{i+N}, x_{i+2N},\dots\) where \(x_ 0,x_ 1,x_ 2,x_ 3,\dots\) is the sequence generated by a nonparallel GFSR generator.
