<DIV>Hi:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am doing a research on D2TCP(<A href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2342388" target=_blank><FONT color=#3d5e86>http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2342388</FONT></A>), I just want to implement it into the linux kernel. When calculating the penalty function, it is p = a^d, where 0< a < 1 and 0< d < 1. Since the kernel only offers integer, so in my code, so I let a multiply 2^10. But I have no idea of calculating a^d when 0< d < 1. May be I want a approximate algorithm or other methods. Can you help me ?</DIV>
<DIV>thanks~</DIV></DIV>
