nanosecond
<unit> (ns) 10^-9 seconds; one thousand millionth part of a second.
This is the unit in which the fundamental logical operations of modern digital
circuits are typically measured. For example, a microprocessor with a clock
frequency of 100 megahertz will have a 10 nanosecond clock period.
