MPI_WTICK(3)

MPI_Wtick — Returns the resolution of MPI_Wtime.

SYNTAX

  C Syntax

            #include <mpi.h>

            double MPI_Wtick()

  Fortran Syntax

            USE MPI
            ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
            DOUBLE PRECISION MPI_WTICK()

  Fortran 2008 Syntax

            USE mpi_f08
            DOUBLE PRECISION MPI_WTICK()

RETURN VALUE

Time in seconds of resolution of MPI_Wtime.

DESCRIPTION

MPI_Wtick returns the resolution of MPI_Wtime in seconds. That is, it returns, as a double-precision value, the number of seconds between successive clock ticks. For example, if the clock is implemented by the hardware as a counter that is incremented every millisecond, the value returned by MPI_Wtick should be 10^-3.

NOTE

This function does not return an error value. Consequently, the result of calling it before MPI_Init or after MPI_Finalize is undefined.
