Mojo function

random_uniform

def random_uniform[dtype: DType, rank: Int, //, output_fn: def[width: SIMDSize, _rank: Int](idx: IndexList[_rank], val: SIMD[dtype, width]) capturing -> None, target: StringSlice[StaticConstantOrigin]](shape: IndexList[rank], lower_bound: Scalar[dtype], upper_bound: Scalar[dtype], seed_ptr: UnsafePointer[UInt64, ImmutAnyOrigin], ctx: DeviceContext)

Call output_fn with values generated from a uniform distribution on [lower_bound, upper_bound] for floating-point types or [lower_bound, upper_bound) for integer types.

Parameters:

dtype (DType): The data type to generate.
rank (Int): The rank of the underlying buffer.
output_fn (def[width: SIMDSize, _rank: Int](idx: IndexList[_rank], val: SIMD[dtype, width]) capturing -> None): The function which stores the generated values.
target (StringSlice[StaticConstantOrigin]): The target to run on.

Args:

shape (IndexList[rank]): The shape of the output being stored into by output_fn.
lower_bound (Scalar[dtype]): The lower bound on the uniform range.
upper_bound (Scalar[dtype]): The upper bound on the uniform range.
seed_ptr (UnsafePointer[UInt64, ImmutAnyOrigin]): Pointer to a single uint64 in device memory containing the Philox seed.
ctx (DeviceContext): The device context.
