    1. The actual time in which a physical process under computer study or control occurs.
    2. The time required for a computer to solve a problem, measured from the time data are fed in to the time a solution is received.

    real time

    1. [techspeak] adj. Describes an application which
    requires a program to respond to stimuli within some small upper
    limit of response time (typically milli- or microseconds). Process
    control at a chemical plant is the canonical example. Such
    applications often require special operating systems (because
    everything else must take a back seat to response time) and
    speed-tuned hardware. 2. adv. In jargon, refers to doing something
    while people are watching or waiting. "I asked her how to find the
    calling procedure's program counter on the stack and she came up
    with an algorithm in real time."
