Worked on enhancing the reproducibility and stability of Monte Carlo simulations in the revbayes/revbayes repository by implementing deterministic random number generator seeding. Used C++ to derive the RNG seed from the replicate_start parameter, ensuring that the seed only changes when replicate_start is greater than zero. This approach addressed issues with inconsistent simulation results across processes and runs, improving both auditability and reliability in multi-process environments. Focused on algorithm development and implementation, the work strengthened the foundation for reproducible scientific computation without introducing new bugs, and improved the testability of simulation workflows involving random number generation.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Focused on improving reproducibility and stability of Monte Carlo simulations in revbayes/revbayes. Implemented deterministic RNG seeding for Monte Carlo replicates by deriving the seed from replicate_start and only adjusting it when replicate_start > 0, ensuring consistent results across processes and runs. This change strengthens auditability and reliability of simulations in multi-process environments. Commits applied: 1a0e047c7fc8c5bde0af676b9d96f20ac10be950 and 9fd193df477ae880a2cf16b6dace8553fef7b227. No major bugs fixed this month; primary achievement was stabilizing RNG behavior and reproducibility.
