NAME

       MPI_Wtime -  Returns an elapsed time on the calling processor

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       double MPI_Wtime(void)

RETURN VALUE

       Time in seconds since an arbitrary time in the past.

NOTES

       This is intended to be a high-resolution, elapsed (or wall) clock.  See
       MPI_Wtick to determine the resolution of MPI_Wime .  If  the  attribute
       MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL is defined and true, then the value is synchronized
       across all processes in MPI_COMM_WORLD .

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

       This function is declared as DOUBLE PRECISION MPI_WTIME() in Fortran.

MORE INFORMATION

       For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which
       contains  the  text  of  both  the  MPI-1  and  MPI-2 standards.  These
       documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of
       which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       The  LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program
       to       generate        man        pages        ("doctext"        from
       ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sowing/sowing.tar.gz     ),    the    initial
       formatting, and some initial text for most of the MPI-1 man pages.
