Abstract
The generation of modified Sobol sequences for multiple run march memory tests is considered. The representation of direction numbers of a Sobol sequence in the form of a lower triangular matrix with a unit diagonal is formalized. Algorithms for generating modified Sobol sequences by formalizing the formation of a direction number matrix are proposed. The use of the Hamming distance as a metric for choosing Sobol sequences is substantiated.
