Cpu time
Hi Experts,
If a thread running on CPU needs some data from RAM (from near or far RAM) it requests the data (this moment of time is t0) and gets it in moment of time in t1, and continues his work.
Between t0 and t1, while data is transferring from RAM, the thread is goes out from CPU? Is the time between t0 and t1 included or excluded from CPU time?
Thanks

I thought a program's elapsed time, some program language call it real time, should be the time of a program from start to finish. And it should be equal or longer than CPU time. This is true for the most of the cases. However, I do see some of my programs CPU time is longer than Elapsed time. ... (1 Reply)

TIMES(2) Linux Programmer's Manual TIMES(2)
NAME
times - get process times
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/times.h>
clock_t times(struct tms *buf);
DESCRIPTION
The times() function stores the current process times in the struct tms that buf points to. The struct tms is as defined in <sys/times.h>:
struct tms {
clock_t tms_utime; /* user time */
clock_t tms_stime; /* system time */
clock_t tms_cutime; /* user time of children */
clock_t tms_cstime; /* system time of children */
};
The tms_utime field contains the CPU time spent executing instructions of the calling process. The tms_stime field contains the CPU time
spent in the system while executing tasks on behalf of the calling process. The tms_cutime field contains the sum of the tms_utime and
tms_cutime values for all waited-for terminated children. The tms_cstime field contains the sum of the tms_stime and tms_cstime values for
all waited-for terminated children.
Times for terminated children (and their descendants) is added in at the moment wait(2) or waitpid(2) returns their process ID. In particu-
lar, times of grandchildren that the children did not wait for are never seen.
All times reported are in clock ticks.
RETURN VALUE
The function times returns the number of clock ticks that have elapsed since an arbitrary point in the past. For Linux this point is the
moment the system was booted. This return value may overflow the possible range of type clock_t. On error, (clock_t) -1 is returned, and
errno is set appropriately.
NOTES
The number of clock ticks per second can be obtained using
sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK);
In POSIX-1996 the symbol CLK_TCK (defined in <time.h>) is mentioned as obsolescent. It is obsolete now.
On Linux, if the disposition of SIGCHLD is set to SIG_IGN then the times of terminated children are automatically included in the
tms_cstime and tms_cutime fields, although POSIX 1003.1-2001 says that this should only happen if the calling process wait()s on its chil-
dren.
Note that clock(3) returns values of type clock_t that are not measured in clock ticks but in CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, SVID, POSIX, X/OPEN, BSD 4.3
HISTORICAL NOTES
SVr1-3 returns long and the struct members are of type time_t although they store clock ticks, not seconds since the epoch. V7 used long
for the struct members, because it had no type time_t yet.
On older systems the number of clock ticks per second is given by the variable HZ.
