Fast gaussian kernel function

Patched a gaussian kernel to work together with that fast exp.

private static final double SQRT_2_PI = Math.sqrt(2 * Math.PI);
private static final double EXP_LIMIT = 700;
private static final double GAUSSIAN_LIMIT = Math.sqrt(EXP_LIMIT * 2);

public static double gaussian(final double u) {
    if (u > GAUSSIAN_LIMIT || u < -GAUSSIAN_LIMIT) {
        return 0;
    }
    return exp(-(u * u) / 2) / SQRT_2_PI;
}

public static double exp(double val) {
    final long tmp = (long) (1512775 * val + 1072632447);
    return Double.longBitsToDouble(tmp << 32);
}
