Intel Inspector XE 2011 (Formerly Intel® Thread Checker)
Introduction
Intel® Parallel Inspector is proactive error checking software that helps ensure C/C++ application reliability on multicore. It rapidly provides root-cause analysis for crash-causing threading and memory defects by monitoring the runtime behavior of the code. Intel Parallel Inspector 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. Intel Parallel Inspector is the fastest, most comprehensive latent multithread error checking tool for Microsoft Visual Studio* 2005, 2008, and 2010. Intel Parallel Inspector is part of Intel® Parallel Studio XE, the all-in-one parallel processing software for serial and parallel C/C++ applications.
Intel Inspector XE enhances developer productivity and facilitates application reliability, by effectively finding crucial memory and threading defects early in the development cycle. It gives detailed insights into application memory and threading behavior to improve application reliability. Intel Inspector XEmakes it easier to find latent errors on the executed code path. It also findsintermittent and non-deterministic errors, even if the error-causing timingscenario does not happen. In addition, developers can test their code moreoften, without the need to use special test builds or compilers.
