 **Statistical Robustness**: Built-in tests ensure that random number streams generated by OpenRAND are statistically robust, with no discernible patterns.
 
-**Performance**: It is as fast and often faster than native libraries like libstdc++ or Nvidia's Curand, with minimal memory overhead.

-The seed should correspond to a work-unit of the program. For example, it could be the unique global id of a particle in a monte carlo simulation, or the (1D) pixel index in a ray tracing renderer. The counter should be incremented every time a new random number is drawn for a particular seed. This is helpful, for example, when a particle undergoes multiple kernel launches in it's lifespan (with a new random stream required in each).

 Below is a simplified monte carlo paticle simulation example that runs for 10000 time steps. Conveniently, we can simply use the iteration number as the `counter` for all particles. For `seed`, we assume each particle below has a unique global id atribute called `pid`.
