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.
