The launch of Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2013 brings a key new feature: the Pointer Checker, which performs bounds checking, providing full checking of all memory accesses through pointers — and identifies any out-of-bounds access in Pointer Checker enabled code.
To use this new Pointer Checker feature, you will need a valid license to the Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2013 or the Intel® C++ Studio XE 2013 products.
The Pointer Checker is a key "new" feature of the Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2013 product release compared to Static Security Analysis (SSA), Mudflap or the Intel® Inspector XE product. In a nutshell, the scope of Pointer Checker is in the detection of out-of-bounds pointer accesses including dangling pointers. The Intel® Inspector XE 2013 (including Static Analysis) is broader in scope and provides a more complete user environment. The table below summarizes the key differences:
Compiler Methodology for Intel® MIC Architecture
Parallelization Using OpenMP*This chapter covers the Intel® Composer XE for Linux suite support of OpenMP* 3.1.
Compiler Methodology for Intel® MIC Architecture
Efficient ParallelizationThis chapter covers topics in parallelization. There are links to various parallelization methods and resources along with tips and techniques for getting optimal parallel performance.
