In that case it’s best to use a random engine adaptor.

The adaptor needs to be in the loop; you don't have a thread_id outside it. uniform_real_distribution<float> zero_one(0., 1.); #pragma omp parallel for for( int i=0; i > eng; eng.seed( i ); out[i] = in[i]*zero_one( eng ); } In principle, this works with any engine, not just a counter-based one, as long as creating and seeding is quick and consecutive seeds result in random first output.
