@item @emph{Note}:
The implemented random number generator is thread safe if used within
OpenMP directives, i. e. its state will be consistent while called from
multiple threads. Please note that the currently implemented KISS generator
does not create random numbers in parallel from multiple sources, but in
sequence from a single source. If your OpenMP-enabled application heavily
relies on random numbers, you should consider employing a dedicated parallel
random number generator instead.

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Restarts or queries the state of the pseudorandom number generator used by
@code{RANDOM_NUMBER}.
If @code{RANDOM_SEED} is called without arguments, it is initialized to
a default state. The example below shows how to initialize the random
seed based on the system's time.
