Some tips would be great.

Hi folks, I saw in user guide of swarm the following table(about default generators and distributions):	RandomBitDist	uses	C2TAUS1gen
BernoulliDist	uses	C2TAUS2gen
UniformIntegerDist	uses	TT403gen
UniformUnsignedDist	uses	TT775gen ...
ExponentialDist	uses	C2TAUS3gen
GammaDist	uses	PSWBgen
