Computer Clock Times
Computers run according to a clock that runs at a steady rate
The time interval is called a clock cycle (eg, 10ns).
The clock rate is the reciprocal of clock cycle - a frequency, how many cycles per sec (eg, 100MHz).
- 10 ns = 1/100,000,000 (clock cycle), same as:-
- 1/10ns = 100,000,000 = 100MHz (clock rate).
