Some good multipliers for random number generator for 16-bit microcomputers

In searching for statistically sound multipliers for the prime modulus multiplicative congruential random number generator for 16-bit microcomputers, an exhaustive analysis is conducted over the 10912 primitive roots of the modulus 2¹⁵-19=32749. The result shows that there are only 227 good multipliers among the 10912 candidate multipliers. Here a multiplier is said to be good if its corresponding generator has good statistical properties and computational efficiency.
