    \class MarsagliaRNG marsaglia.h "sst/core/rng/marsaglia.h"
 
    Implements a random number generator using the Marsaglia method. This method is
    computationally cheap and provides a reasonable distribution of random numbers. If
    you need additional strength in the random numbers you may want to consider the
    Mersenne RNG.
 
        For more information see the Multiply-with-carry Random Number Generator article
    at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply-with-carry).
