    A new fast algorithm is derived for the generation of the components of Halton vectors, which is one of the quasi-random sequences designed for efficient Monte Carlo calculation of multidimensional integrals. It is based on the original definition of the Halton numbers with somewhat larger memory space. It is shown that a modified Halton sequence based on this algorithm is useful in quasi-Monte Carlo multidimensional integration.
