I'm a computer science student with a limited physics background and was recently introduced to special relativity. I have a question I haven’t been able to answer, and I would appreciate your help.

Assume a spacecraft travels at a constant speed close to the speed of light and has a basic computer and clock onboard. On Earth, the computer takes T$T$ units of time (measured by the same type of clock) to perform a specific computation C. Now, if the clock onboard the spacecraft shows 2 p.m. when the computation starts, will the clock read (2 p.m. + T$T$) when the computation is finished, or does relativity affect the clock's time in this situation?

Thank you!
