[comp.unix.aix] Timing FORTRAN Programs

sah@chaz.acc.Virginia.EDU (Sherry Heitchew) (06/01/90)

   On other UNIX machines, CDC MIPS, Sun, and Convex, I have used a
timing subroutine called "etime".  Is there an equivalent routine on
the IBM RISC 6000 (AIX)?  I am coding in FORTRAN.

Thanks

  From my understanding of the "etime" subroutine, you will find similar
  function with the "mclock" routine included with AIX XL FORTRAN.  This
  routine provides the total of:
      a) elapsed user time of the current process, and
      b) elapsed user *and* system time of all child processes
  in 1/100ths of a second.
