CPU time reconginzes the distinctuion between WallClockTime and the time the CPU is actually doing calculations. CPU time is computing, not including the time waiting for I/O or other running programs. We kjnow that ResponseTime <> CpuTime!

CPU time can be further divided into:

  • system time - Time spent doing OS work
  • user time - Time spent executing user program

CPUSystem+CPUUser=Elapsed Time+I/O Time

CPU Execution Time=CPU clock cycles for a programClock Rate
