   I saw a different result on CPU and GPU by using the same seed value. Is this an expected behavior or am I missing something here ??
   
   ## script
   
   ```python
   import mxnet as mx
   mx.random.seed(99)
   t_cpu = mx.nd.random.uniform(shape=(4), ctx=mx.cpu())
   print("CPU: ", t_cpu)
   mx.random.seed(99)
   t_gpu = mx.nd.random.uniform(shape=(4), ctx=mx.gpu(0))
   print("GPU: ", t_gpu)
   ```
   
   ## Output
   
   ```bash
   CPU:
   [0.9509902  0.71019113 0.7611274  0.08560332]
   <NDArray 4 @cpu(0)>
   GPU:
   [0.29560053 0.07938761 0.29997164 0.4891801 ]
   <NDArray 4 @gpu(0)>
   ```
