CPU time and Wall clock time #32

Closed HuangPZ closed 2 years ago

Hi, when conducting the experiment I see these two values are very different (CPU time seems to be smaller). Which one is reported in the paper? And why are they so different (especially in small networks)?

Wall clock time will the be actual time taken by the code whereas the CPU time is computed using the number of clock cycles used. Parallelization, used in the code, makes a big difference in these two times. It should be the wall clock time reported in the paper.
