Proving timeliness is an integral part of the verification of safety-critical real-time systems. To this end, timing analysis computes upper bounds on the execution times of programs that execute on a given hardware platform. Modern hardware platforms commonly exhibit counter-intuitive timing behaviour: a locally slower execution can lead to a faster overall execution. Such behaviour challenges efficient timing analysis. In this work, we present and discuss a hardware design, the strictly in-order pipeline, that behaves monotonically w.r.t. the progress of a program's execution. Based on monotonicity, we prove the absence of the aforementioned counter-intuitive behaviour. At least since multi-core processors have emerged, timing analysis ...
