Thank you.
Finally, I've rewritten a code to adapt it to Metal. It's pretty uniform...
<<<< mt.h >>>>
/*
* Code adapted to Metal Shader
* Helio Tejedor <heltena@gmail.com>
*/
/*
* C++ Mersenne Twister wrapper class written by
* Jason R. Blevins <jrblevin@sdf.lonestar.org> on July 24, 2006.
* Based on the original MT19937 C code by

/*
A C-program for MT19937, with initialization improved 2002/1/26.
Coded by Takuji Nishimura and Makoto Matsumoto.
Before using, initialize the state by using init_genrand(seed)
or init_by_array(init_key, key_length).
