+@item @emph{Note}:
+The implemented random number generator is thread safe if used within
+OpenMP directives, i. e. its state will be consistent while called from
+multiple threads. Please note that the currently implemented KISS generator 
+does not create random numbers in parallel from multiple sources, but in
+sequence from a single source. If your OpenMP-enabled application heavily
+relies on random numbers, you should consider employing a dedicated parallel
+random number generator instead.
