# Is it possible to generate a better random number generator algorithm from an algorithm that use N computers with one that uses N+1 computers?

Is it possible to generate a better random number generator algorithm from an algorithm that use N number of computers with an algorithm that uses N+1 number of computers? I use the word computer here, but I believe you can use the word processor instead as not all computers are single-processor computers although I am not sure if it makes any difference as the answer would be similar I think. The algorithm can be any algorithm, but for the sake of simplicity let's say the fastest one we know, and if you can't generalize for N, let's say N = 1.

• What do you mean by better? – user82867 Jan 1 at 20:47
• faster, but it can be better in any other aspect. – rikuwang Jan 1 at 20:54
• What do you mean by faster, then? Do you mean the total computing time summed across all computers, or the latency? What's the motivation for this question? – D.W. Jan 1 at 21:20
• total computing time without summation – rikuwang Jan 1 at 21:25
