Techniques are included for providing a parallel pseudo infinite timeline monotonic clock that may be used to determine time and durations. A system clock is used to obtain an original time instant that anchors the pseudo infinite timeline to be parallel to a timeline of the system clock. The monotonic clock obtains time ticks from a monotonic tick supplier. The monotonic time ticks are used to determine times and durations, rather than relying on time instants obtained from the system clock. The use of a sliding window anchored at various times allows the parallel timeline to be almost infinite in implementation, rather than wrapping once a maximum value is reached. In addition, the accuracy of computations of time and duration are impervious to changes to the system clock, due to the use of the monotonic time ticks instead of obtaining multiple time instants from the system clock.
