Explain 'Idle Time' in Tensorboard (TF 2)

Viewed 103

I am profiling using TensorBoard the new(ish) profiling tools. One option in"Tensorflow_stats" is a prompt to include IDLE time or not:

Tensorboard showing IDLE option

When I Yes, Enable, IDLE time jumps to the top of the "Top Operations" which lists those times which are slowest. However,the time given is much bigger than wall time measured on a watch. What is included and how is this "IDLE" time determined?
