MPI_Wtick

 Returns the resolution of MPI_Wtime 
double MPI_Wtick( void );

Return value

Time in seconds of resolution of MPI_Wtime.

Remarks

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

Notes for Fortran

This is a function, declared as DOUBLE PRECISION MPI_WTICK() in Fortran.
