The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

Returns a value in seconds of the time elapsed from some point.

double omp_get_wtime( );  

Returns a value in seconds of the time elapsed from some arbitrary, but consistent point.

That point will remain consistent during program execution, making subsequent comparisons possible.
