run-time

(Or "runtime", occasionally "run time").

1. The elapsed time to perform a computation on a particular computer, that is the period of time during which a program is being executed, as opposed to compile-time or load time.

2. The amount of time a processor actually spends on one process and not on other processes or overhead (see time-sharing).
