ptime - measurement of parallel times

Calling sequence:
ptime(statement)

Parameter:

statement   --  statement

Summary:

ptime(statement) executes the statement statement and returns its result.
Any statement can be given as the argument.  Furthermore, the function
returns the number of tasks that each process took from the problem heap
for the calculaion of statement and the CPU time that this process used for
processing these tasks.  However, if this function is used in the sequential
version then the function returns 0 for the number of tasks carried out and
the used time. ptime is a kernel function.

>>  ptime((for i from 1 to 10 parallel i end_for));
