Total CPU Clocks Conversion

Deadline
1

Hey all!

I’m trying to build some reporting around jobs in Deadline, but I’m having trouble figuring out what exactly the “Total CPU Clocks” value represents. Is it measuring time? Energy used? Something else entirely?

For example, in one case I see:

Total CPU Clocks used: 22110137

I’m hoping it’s something like how RAM gets converted into bytes, maybe there’s a similar relationship here? If anyone knows what this number corresponds to, I’d really appreciate the insight!

Thanks!

It represents the number of clock cycles used for processing. I think converting would not be easy, you need to know the frequency used at the time, and not sure how it works with multiple cores.
