A digital computer's '''clock''' is a pulse generator which synchronizes operations throughout the system (or a portion of the system).
The higher the clock speed of a system, the more operations are performed per second. Performing more operations per second will usually lead to a more instructions being performed per second, but the relationship between the clock speed and instruction execution is rarely 1:1.
