[docs]def seed(seed_state):
"""Seeds the random number generators in MXNet.
This affects the behavior of modules in MXNet that uses random number generators,
like the dropout operator and `NDArray`'s random sampling operators.
Parameters
----------
seed_state : int
The random number seed to set to all devices.
Notes
-----
Random number generators in MXNet are device specific. Therefore, random numbers
generated from two devices can be different even if they are seeded using the same seed.
Example
-------
>>> print(mx.nd.random.normal(shape=(2,2)).asnumpy())
[[ 1.36481571 -0.62203991]
[-1.4962182 -0.08511394]]
>>> print(mx.nd.random.normal(shape=(2,2)).asnumpy())
[[ 1.09544981 -0.20014545]
[-0.20808885 0.2527658 ]]
>>>
>>> mx.random.seed(128)
>>> print(mx.nd.random.normal(shape=(2,2)).asnumpy())
[[ 0.47400656 -0.75213492]
