Speed up random number generation in MATLAB

Question

Is there any way to generate pseudo-random numbers to less precision and thus speed the process up?

Another thing is that I know it saves time if random numbers are

Answer 1

If you have a CUDA-capable GPU, you can do random number generation on it, as it's supposed to be much faster... Specifically Philox4x32-10:

parallel.gpu.rng(0, 'Philox4x32-10');
R = gpuArray.rand(sZ,'single'); % run this for more info: doc('gpuArray/rand')
