Hi,

I have two questions regarding $random and $arandom

1. Except for the fact that $arandom supports global/local randomization, and that its seed can be a parameter, are there any further differences between it and $random?
I don't see why both $random and $arandom are supported, as it seems one will always want to use $arandom.

2. Often I build a Verilog-A view which is simulated in several simulators (SPICE, fast SPICE, etc..)
It is not clear from the LRM if results of $random/$arandom should be repeatable across simulators.
i.e., when running in simulator (A), I am getting certain random output (and it is repeatable across different runs)
Once I switch to simulator (B), is there a built-it random function which is guaranteed to give the same results like in simulator (A) ?

Regards,

Ari
