NAME

       MPI_Wtick - Returns the resolution of MPI_Wtime.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       double MPI_Wtick()

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       DOUBLE PRECISION MPI_WTICK()

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       double MPI::Wtick()

RETURN VALUE

       Time in seconds of resolution of MPI_Wtime.

DESCRIPTION

       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 10^-3.

NOTE

       This function does not return an error value. Consequently, the result of calling it before  MPI_Init  or
       after MPI_Finalize is undefined.
