| Incorporate multi-threading now to unleash the power of multi-core processor-based systems, including the latest 64-bit Quad-Core processors.
Intel® Thread Checker is an analysis tool that pinpoints hard-to-find threading errors like data races and deadlocks in 32-bit and 64-bit applications. It can also be integrated into an automated Quality Assurance/test process to ensure code quality.
Confidently develop multi-threaded applications faster and with less effort.
Microsoft Visual Studio* Developers: Find threading bugs faster with Intel® Thread Checker 3.1 from within Microsoft Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and 2008
Product Brief [PDF 681KB]

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, as seen in Figure 1.

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 and 2008 support:- Supports C++ applications developed using the Microsoft Windows* compilers in Microsoft Visual Studio* 2005 and 2008.
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.

Microsoft Visual Studio* Developers: Intel® Thread Checker requires VTune™ Analyzer 9.0 update 7 and later to integrate with Microsoft Visual Studio* 2003, 2005 or 2008. Visual Studio 2008 integration is available on all supported platforms except Vista* on Intel® 64 architecture. VTune Analyzer does integrate with Visual Studio 2005 on Vista for Intel 64 architecture and also works standalone. Integration with Visual Studio 2008 on Vista for Intel 64 architecture is planned for a future update.
