CPU_TIME

 CPU_TIME (time)

 Class:  Subroutine

 Returns a processor-dependent approximation of the processor time
 (in seconds).

 Argument "time" must be scalar and of real type.  It is an
 INTENT(OUT) argument.

 If a meaningful time cannot be returned, a processor-dependent
 negative value is returned.

 Example:

   REAL time_begin, time_end
   ...
   CALL CPU_TIME(time_begin)
   ...                         !some operation coding
   CALL CPU_TIME(time_end)
   PRINT (*,*) 'Time of operation was ', time_begin - time_end, ' seconds'
