The Intel Thread Checker product is an Intel VTune Performance
Analyzer plug-in data collector that executes your program and
automatically locates threading errors. As your program runs, the Intel
Thread Checker monitors memory accesses and other events and
automatically detects situations which could cause unpredictable
threading-related results. The Intel Thread Checker detects thread
deadlocks, stalls, data race conditions and more.
