   The Fortran 2018 spec just says it returns a “processor-dependent value”   
   which is “incremented by one for each clock count until the value   
   COUNT_MAX is reached and is reset to zero at the next count”.

   This code is running on the GPU, right? That very likely does not maintain   
   its own system clock.
