Computing (FOLDOC) dictionary (also found in English - Vietnamese, English - English (Wordnet), )

clock

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.
