So it sounds like the right fix is to change the "random" option name to "noisy" and replace the use of the random number generator with Jed's hash and make it the default. (Where if you turn off the noisy it uses the right hand side which is useful for debugging the solvers) </blockquote><div><br></div><div>So this means removing "PetscRandom random;" from Cheby, I assume.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">If you make a pull request we'll move it through,<br>
