about the unit of walltotal in ccsm_timing_stats file

Dear all, Can anyone tell me what is the unit for walltotal in ccsm_timing_stats file?An example as following: name                          processes  threads        count      walltotal   wallmax (proc   thrd  )   wallmin (proc   thrd  )DRIVER_INIT                         512      512 5.120000e+02   2.288781e+04    44.791 (     7      0)    44.673 (   419      0)driver_init_comps                   512      512 5.120000e+02   2.023756e+04    39.913 (     7      0)    39.090 (   112      0) Many thanks in advance! Zheng

Thank you, jedwards, It is CPU time or total run time?

It's wallclock time.    That is the actual time of the clock on the wall.

I run a case, the run time of which is 3616 sec, while the cpu time is 1825329.25 sec. The total wall time for one process is 1.812262e+06 as shown in below. The total wall time seemds to be little too large.. name                          processes  threads        count      walltotal   wallmax (proc   thrd  )   wallmin (proc   thrd  )DRIVER_RUN_LOOP     512      512 8.970240e+06   1.812262e+06  3539.594 (   445      0)  3539.468 (   144      0)

1.812262e+06/ 512 = 3540So I guess walltime is cputime * number of cpus
