clocks n. processor logic cycles, so called because each generally
   corresponds to one clock pulse in the processor's timing. the relative
   execution times of instructions on a machine are usually discussed in
   clocks rather than absolute fractions of a second; one good reason for
   this is that clock speeds for various models of the machine may increase
   as technology improves, and it is usually the relative times one is
   interested in when discussing the instruction set. compare cycle,
   jiffy.
