-Succinctly stated, '''wall clock time''' is the human perception of the passage of time from the start to the completion of a task.  In the context of a task being performed on a [[computer]], '''wall clock time''' or '''wall time''' is a measure of how much real [[time]] that elapses from start to end, including time that passes due to [[sleep (operating system)|programmed (artificial) delays]] or waiting for resources to become available.
-In the context of [[time zone]] calculations, '''wall clock time''' identifies the local time with any applicable adjustments for [[daylight saving time]]. It provides a way to refer to a time without specifying standard time or daylight saving time.
