New Erlang Monotonic Time
Erlang monotonic time as such is new as of ERTS 7.0.
It is introduced to detach time measurements, such as elapsed
- time from calendar time. Many programmers want to measure elapsed
- time or specify a time relative to another point in time without
- knowing the involved times in UTC or any other globally defined
- time scale. By introducing a time scale
