Patented advanced error detection engine:
- Detects hidden potential errors such as deadlocks and data races, mapping them to the source-code line, call stack, and memory reference
- Displays useful warnings for effective threaded application diagnosis, highlighting the most potentially severe errors
- When using supported Intel® compilers and source instrumentation mode, tracks the error down to the specific variable in your source code
- Comprehensive error detection mitigates the risk of adding threads and enables hands-on learning about the fundamental principles of threading
Intel Thread Checker even finds latent (or likely to occur) threading defects. It allows drilling down to the source code line or memory address of the error.
Drill to the source code view by double clicking on an error message in the default diagnostic view to see exactly where contention occurs in the source code.
As changes to the source code are implemented Intel Thread Checker can be rerun to track warnings and informative comments.
Works on standard debug builds:
- Intel Thread Checker does not require your application to be recompiled.
Calibration run:
- Intel Thread Checker uses its intelligence to recommend which modules to instrument based on usage. Decrease your instrumentation time by focusing on only the modules that are used by your test case.
Patented OpenMP analysis:
- Enable rapid prototyping of design options with patented OpenMP analysis to determine the impact that threading will have at a specific point in your application.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 support:
- Supports C++ applications developed using the Microsoft Windows* compilers in Microsoft Visual Studio* 2005.
Command line interface:
- Integrate Intel Thread Checker into your testing environment easily with a scriptable interface. This simplifies the implementation of daily regressions and improves development efficiency

~Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor supporting HT Technology and a Hyper-Threading Technology enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology.
