cputime - Elapsed CPU time
Syntax
cputime
Description
cputime returns the total
CPU time (in seconds) used by your MATLAB application from the
time it was started. This number can overflow the internal representation
and wrap around.
Remarks
Although it is possible to measure performance using the cputime function, it is recommended that you use the tic and toc functions for this purpose exclusively. See Using tic and toc Versus the cputime
Function in the MATLAB Programming Fundamentals documentation for more information.
Examples
The following code returns the CPU time used to run surf(peaks(40)).
t = cputime; surf(peaks(40)); e = cputime-t
e =
