C++ AMP RNG Library is a library of Random Number Generators that C++ AMP developers can freely use in their own projects.

add support for accelerator_view

[This is copied from the original repo's tickets]

i think you should add accelerator_view to your base class and a defaulted version to the derived:

amp_rand_collection(
const concurrency::extent<_rank> rand_extent,
accelerator_view acc /= accelerator::get_default_view()/,
int seed = 0) :
m_rng_av(concurrency::array<_rng_type, _rank>(rand_extent, acc))
{}

tinymt_collection(
const concurrency::extent<_rank> rand_extent,
accelerator_view acc = accelerator::get_default_view(),
int seed = 0)
: _base(rand_extent, acc, seed)

add restrict(cpu)

for validation of results and speed comparisons it's essential to be able to generate RNGs on CPU as well as device, so this should be supported by the library.
