Method of measuring the net runing time of a computer program

摘要

Method for measuring the net running time of a program (T1) running on a computer in which system time (ST) can be measured has the following steps: (a) A zero value is initially stored for the program run time (b) when program execution begins, the system time is stored as the program start time (c) when the program is interrupted or completes, the difference between the current system time and the start system time is added to the net running time (d) steps b and c are repeated until the program completes.
