clock
Jump to user comments
A processor's clock or one cycle thereof. The relative
execution times of instructions on a computer are usually
measured by number of clock cycles rather than seconds. One
good reason for this is that clock rates for various models
of the computer may increase as technology improves, and it is
usually the relative times one is interested in when
discussing the instruction set.
