when we produce many small MC samples, do we need manually set a random seed for a task? if necessary, how to do that?

It depends on which generator you are using. The way to set the seed is in the header file of the generator, you can find it easily.

Really sorry, I looked up all interfaces, say the class FairBoxGenerator, PndEvtGenDirect, and their mother class, but didn't find, even in the latest trunk version.

It is quite easy:

gRandom->SetSeed(randomSeed);

Thanks. Oh, it's a ROOT-based framework. Smile
