Description
The current implementation of the seed splitting function (split_VBT_seed(rng::Random123.AbstractR123, parent_seed, current_depth, Nt)) assumes to have access to a counter-based PRNG:
Possible resources for other parallel RNGs are:

Research direction
Start with split_VBT_seed in src/noise_interfaces/virtual_brownian_tree_interface.jl around line 139 and identify where it assumes a counter-based PRNG. Review the SPRNG and RandomNumbers.jl resources for approaches to parallel RNG seed splitting. Done means supporting the relevant RNG kinds without relying only on Random123's counter-based behavior.
