AccFFT execute functions get a double timer of size 5, where the timing for different parts of the algorithm is written to:

1. timer[2]: Comm time
2. timer[4]: Local FFT execution time.
3. timer[0],timer[1],timer[3]: Scratch data

None of the entries in timer denote the total time. To get the total execution time, you should wrap the execution function call with MPI_Wtime(). For example:

double exec_time=0; exec_time-=MPI_Wtime(); accfft_execute(...,timer); exec_time+=MPI_Wtime();

It is recommended that you perform 1-2 warmup runs by calling the corresponding execute function, before profiling the code.
