Hi, Fujitsu offers its own implementation of RNG, so I'm wondering if I can use it as a drop-in replacement of the NEST RNG?
Dear Itaru,
there is certainly no drop-in mechanism for RNGs right now. The current librandom of NEST is hand-crafted around the built-in generators and there is no UI-level code to extend or modify it.
That said, we are working on replacing librandom by an interface to C++11-compliant RNG's and distributions, which will make adding new generators/distributions much easier.
In case the Fujitsu RNGs conforms to the C++11 standard, you should probably consider using them only once the new code is in place.
Best regards, Jochen!

Jochen,
Fujitsu SSL is a set of libraries that are implemented in Fortran, C-SSL is a C version. So, if I am not mistaken, there are no C++ implementations yet.
Itaru.
