Elapsed Time
Overall time (adding, disk access, waiting for I/O, etc) elapsed time = CPU time + wait time

CPU time
Execution time: Time spent solely on the CPU (adding, comparing numbers, etc) CPU time = user CPU time + system CPU time

Performance Equation
For some program running on machine x

CPU Execution Time


IC = Instruction count CPIavg = Average cycles per instruction CCT = Clock cycle time
