!predefined clock granularities, but you can use any integer!using CLOCK_LOOP and above may distort coarser-grain measurements
  !> @brief Set the level of granularity of timing measurements.
  !!
  !> This routine and three other routines, mpp_clock_id, mpp_clock_begin(id),
  !!    and mpp_clock_end(id) may be used to time parallel code sections, and
  !!    extract parallel statistics. Clocks are identified by names, which
  !!    should be unique in the first 32 characters. The <TT>mpp_clock_id</TT>
  !!    call initializes a clock of a given name and returns an integer
  !!    <TT>id</TT>. This <TT>id</TT> can be used by subsequent
  !!    <TT>mpp_clock_begin</TT> and <TT>mpp_clock_end</TT> calls set around a
  !!    code section to be timed. Example:
  !!    <PRE>
  !!    integer :: id
  !!    id = mpp_clock_id( 'Atmosphere' )
  !!    call mpp_clock_begin(id)
  !!    call atmos_model()
  !!    call mpp_clock_end()
  !!    </PRE>
  !!     Two flags may be used to alter the behaviour of
  !!     <TT>mpp_clock</TT>. If the flag <TT>MPP_CLOCK_SYNC</TT> is turned on
  !!     by <TT>mpp_clock_id</TT>, the clock calls <TT>mpp_sync</TT> across all
  !!     the PEs in the current pelist at the top of the timed code section,
  !!     but allows each PE to complete the code section (and reach
  !!     <TT>mpp_clock_end</TT>) at different times. This allows us to measure
  !!     load imbalance for a given code section. Statistics are written to
  !!     <TT>stdout</TT> by <TT>mpp_exit</TT>.
  !!
  !!     The flag <TT>MPP_CLOCK_DETAILED</TT> may be turned on by
  !!     <TT>mpp_clock_id</TT> to get detailed communication
  !!     profiles. Communication events of the types <TT>SEND, RECV, BROADCAST,
  !!     REDUCE</TT> and <TT>WAIT</TT> are separately measured for data volume
  !!     and time. Statistics are written to <TT>stdout</TT> by
  !!     <TT>mpp_exit</TT>, and individual PE info is also written to the file
  !!     <TT>mpp_clock.out.####</TT> where <TT>####</TT> is the PE id given by
  !!     <TT>mpp_pe</TT>.
  !!
  !!     The flags <TT>MPP_CLOCK_SYNC</TT> and <TT>MPP_CLOCK_DETAILED</TT> are
  !!     integer parameters available by use association, and may be summed to
  !!     turn them both on.
  !!
  !!     While the nesting of clocks is allowed, please note that turning on
  !!     the non-optional flags on inner clocks has certain subtle issues.
  !!     Turning on <TT>MPP_CLOCK_SYNC</TT> on an inner
  !!     clock may distort outer clock measurements of load imbalance. Turning
  !!     on <TT>MPP_CLOCK_DETAILED</TT> will stop detailed measurements on its
  !!     outer clock, since only one detailed clock may be active at one time.
  !!     Also, detailed clocks only time a certain number of events per clock
  !!     (currently 40000) to conserve memory. If this array overflows, a
  !!     warning message is printed, and subsequent events for this clock are
  !!     not timed.
  !!
  !!     Timings are done using the <TT>f90</TT> standard
  !!     <TT>SYSTEM_CLOCK</TT> intrinsic.
  !!
  !!     The resolution of SYSTEM_CLOCK is often too coarse for use except
  !!     across large swaths of code. On SGI systems this is transparently
  !!     overloaded with a higher resolution clock made available in a
  !!     non-portable fortran interface made available by
  !!     <TT>nsclock.c</TT>. This approach will eventually be extended to other
  !!     platforms.
  !!
  !!     New behaviour added at the Havana release allows the user to embed
  !!     profiling calls at varying levels of granularity all over the code,
  !!     and for any particular run, set a threshold of granularity so that
  !!     finer-grained clocks become dormant.
  !!
  !!     The threshold granularity is held in the private module variable
  !!     <TT>clock_grain</TT>. This value may be modified by the call
  !!     <TT>mpp_clock_set_grain</TT>, and affect clocks initiated by
  !!     subsequent calls to <TT>mpp_clock_id</TT>. The value of
  !!     <TT>clock_grain</TT> is set to an arbitrarily large number initially.
  !!
  !!     Clocks initialized by <TT>mpp_clock_id</TT> can set a new optional
  !!     argument <TT>grain</TT> setting their granularity level. Clocks check
  !!     this level against the current value of <TT>clock_grain</TT>, and are
  !!     only triggered if they are <I>at or below ("coarser than")</I> the
  !!     threshold. Finer-grained clocks are dormant for that run.
  !!
  !!The following grain levels are pre-defined:
  !!
  !!<pre>
  !!
  !!
  !!  integer, parameter, public :: CLOCK_COMPONENT=1 !component level, e.g model, exchange
  !!  integer, parameter, public :: CLOCK_SUBCOMPONENT=11 !top level within a model component, e.g dynamics, physics
  !!  integer, parameter, public :: CLOCK_MODULE=21 !module level, e.g main subroutine of a physics module
  !!  integer, parameter, public :: CLOCK_ROUTINE=31 !level of individual subroutine or function
  !!  integer, parameter, public :: CLOCK_LOOP=41 !loops or blocks within a routine
  !!  integer, parameter, public :: CLOCK_INFRA=51 !infrastructure level, e.g halo update
  !!</pre>
  !!
  !!     Note that subsequent changes to <TT>clock_grain</TT> do not
  !!     change the status of already initiated clocks, and that if the
  !!     optional <TT>grain</TT> argument is absent, the clock is always
  !!     triggered. This guarantees backward compatibility.
