The following code was compiled with gfortran -g -o test_dtime test_dtime.f
The code is given by (very similar to that given in the info file for gfortran program test_dtime integer(8) :: i, j, k real, dimension(2) :: tarray real :: result real :: accum call dtime(tarray, result) print '(''tarray,result:'', 1P, 3E20.11)', tarray, result do i=1,100000000 ! Just a delay j = i * i - i end do call dtime(tarray, result) print '(''tarray,result:'', 1P, 3E20.11)', tarray, result accum = 0.e0 ! Should accumulate 10 times previous tarray(1) call dtime(tarray, result) do k=1, 10 do i=1,100000000 ! Just a delay j = i * i - i end do call dtime(tarray, result) accum = accum + tarray(1) end do print '(''accum ='', 1P, E20.11 )', accum end program test_dtime The resulting output is tarray,result: 9.99000039883E-04 9.99000039883E-04 1.99800007977E-03 tarray,result: 3.86941999197E-01 0.00000000000E+00 3.86941999197E-01 accum = 1.35349416733E+01 Note that accum should be close to 10 times the value the tarray(1) above, that is, close to 3.8. I have no idea where the 13.5... came from. -- Summary: dtime not consistent in times reported Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libfortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: fkrogh#gcc at mathalacarte dot com GCC build triplet: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.1 GCC host triplet: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.1 GCC target triplet: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.1 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41157
