Howdy !

I have a question regarding "trace" job output using the command

pvm> spawn -@filename timing

on the pvm console.

I am running the timing and timing_slave example programs distributed
in the examples sub-directory that comes with PVM 3.3.7

Can someone tell me what the numbers like "799396107.635044" and
" u 1,780000" and "s 19,620000" mean ?

Thanks
