A hardware Gaussian noise generator using the Wallace method.

We describe a hardware Gaussian noise generator based on the Wallace method used for a hardware simulation system. Our noise generator accurately models a true Gaussian probability density function even at high σ values. We evaluate its properties using: 1) several different statistical tests, inclu...
