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. .PP .SH NOTE This function does not return an error value. Consequently, the result of calling it before MPI_Init or after MPI_Finalize is undefined. .SH SEE ALSO .ft R .sp MPI_Wtime
