Unlike a traditional error checkers and thread inspector, Intel® Parallel Inspector 2011 provides Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developers a comprehensive solution for serial and multithreaded error checking.

Helping Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developers achieve application reliability and quality, the Intel Parallel Inspector memory error and thread, checker gives both experts and novices greater insight by finding threading and memory errors before they happen.

• Increases serial and threaded application reliability regardless of the threading method used

• Works on standard debug builds

• Simplifies finding and fixing the cause of the error, including nondeterministic errors

• Helps ensure that shipped applications run error-free on customer systems

• Reduces support costs and increases productivity

Increase Reliability by Finding Threading and Memory Errors Before They Happen
The Intel® Parallel Inspector memory error and thread checker rapidly provides root-cause analysis for crash-causing memory and threading defects by monitoring the runtime behavior of the code. It then maps those errors in an easy-to-understand manner. This capability is especially critical for nondeterministic errors (i.e., where the execution sequence changes from run to run) that are difficult to reproduce. It uses dynamic instrumentation that requires no special test builds or compilers, so it i's easier to test code more often.

Find Memory Errors in Serial and Threaded Code

Quickly find memory errors, including leaks and corruptions, in single and multithreaded applications with this powerful memory error checker and thread inspector. This decreases support costs by finding memory errors before an application ships.

Memory checking includes uninitialized load detection, use of invalid memory references, mismatched memory allocation and deallocation, memory leaks detection, stack memory checks, and stack trace with controllable stack trace depth.

Find Threading Errors that Cause Stalls and Crashes

The powerful thread inspector aAccurately pinpoints latent threading errors, including deadlocks and data races. This helps reduce stalls and crashes due to threading errors not found by debuggers and other tools.

Thread checker capabilities ing includes data race detection, deadlock detection, depth configurable call stack analysis, diagnostic guidance, and built-in knowledge of Intel® Threading Building Blocks, OpenMP*, and Windows* threads.

Find those difficult-to-find memory errors in your source code or even in binaries that cause crashes and hangs in your application.

Find race conditions and deadlocks that affect the reliability and accuracy of your threaded code in your source code or even third-party libraries where you do not have the source.

Intel Parallel Inspector does more than just find the problem; it provides guidance to help solve the problem.

Intel Parallel Inspector makes it easy for a novice or expert to configure memory and threading testing through an intuitive configuration dialog.
