wall time: n. (also wall clock time) 1. ‘Real world’ time (what the clock on the wall shows),
as opposed to the system clock's idea of time. 2. The real running time of a program, as opposed to the number of
ticks required to execute it (on a timesharing
system these always differ, as no one program gets all the ticks, and on
multiprocessor systems with good thread support one may get more processor
time than real time).
