What would you think about doing the calculation within user-space? Can you formulate the problem such that it does not need floating point operations? wbr, Lukas -- Lukas Ruf | Wanna know anything about raw | <http://www.lpr.ch> | IP? -> <http://www.rawip.org> | eMail Style Guide: <http://www.rawip.org/style.html>| -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
