What is wall clock time? the standard doesn't define it
but I see its use in past posts on clc.
The term "Wall clock time" refers to the elapsed time that an activity
takes, and alludes to the method of timing such an activity: look at the
wall clock when the activity starts, look again when the activity ends,
compute the difference between the two times.
We use this term in contrast to "cpu time", which measures the elapsed
time that an activity takes, excluding all the time the computer is not
performing tasks for that activity (i.e. "data entry" time, etc.).
