As I understand GPU programming, you want to maximize parallelism. Ideally, you would have something small enough to have an independent generator for each processor. You should be able to generate perfectly random-looking numbers using 64 or 128 bits of state storage and a handful of instructions per 32-bits of output.
A perfect assessment.
It's why I keep learning about every field --- there are so many areas that turn out to be applicable in different domains.
For example, "variance shadow maps" create soft shadows using statistical analysis. (I wish they were practical. It's just an example.)

I'll check out the Skein function, thanks.
