WTIME <br> Compute Elapsed Wallclock Time
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
<b>WTIME</b>
is a C++ function which
returns a reading of the wall clock time.
</p>
<p>
For parallel programming, the important thing to measure is the elapsed
wallclock time. This can be found by subtracting an initial reading of
the wallclock time from a final one.
</p>
<p>
The OpenMP system provides a function used as follows:
<pre>
seconds = omp_get_wtime ( )
operations to time;
seconds = omp_get_wtime ( ) - seconds;
</pre>
while the MPI system provides a similar function used as:
<pre>
seconds = MPI_Wtime ( );
operations;
seconds = MPI_Wtime ( ) - seconds;
</pre>
and in MATLAB, wallclock time can be taken with "tic" and "toc":
<pre>
tic;
operation;
seconds = toc;
</pre>
</p>
<p>
WTIME provides a way to get a similar reading:
<pre>
seconds = wtime ( );
operations;
seconds = wtime ( ) - seconds;
</pre>
