  2. Epoch (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(computing)

    Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...

  3. Decimal time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time

    The difference between metric time and decimal time is that metric time defines units for measuring time interval, as measured with a stopwatch, and decimal time defines the time of day, as measured by a clock. Just as standard time uses the metric time unit of the second as its basis, proposed decimal time scales may use alternative metric units.

  4. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The Jiffy is the amount of time light takes to travel one femtometre (about the diameter of a nucleon). The Planck time is the time that light takes to travel one Planck length. The TU (for time unit) is a unit of time defined as 1024 μs for use in engineering. The svedberg is a time unit used for sedimentation rates (usually

    The Arduino platform provides relative time via the millis() function. This function returns an unsigned 32-bit integer representing "milliseconds since startup", which will roll over every 49 days. By default, this is the only timing source available in the platform and programs need to take special care to handle rollovers. [98]

  6. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system. The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds. Other units of time – minute, hour, and day – are accepted for use with SI, but are not part of it
