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

$$$CPU_{System}+CPU_{User}=ElapsedTime + I/O~Time$$$

CPU Execution Time=CPU clock cycles for a programClock Rate
