Fortran intrinsic timing routines, which is better? cpu_time or system_clock

by

These two intrinsics report different types of time. system_clock reports “wall time” or elapsed time. cpu_time reports time used by the CPU. On a multi-tasking machine these could be very different, e.g., if your process shared the CPU equally with three other processes and therefore received 25% of the CPU and used 10 cpu seconds, it would take about 40 seconds of actual elapsed or wall clock time.
