Intel® Performance Analysis Tools and Libraries

Intel Corporation offers a variety of performance analysis tools and libraries that can help you optimize your application performance.

Performance Analysis Tools

These performance tools can help you analyze your application, find problem areas, and develop efficient programs. In some cases, these tools are critical to the optimization process.

Tool	Operating System	Description
Intel® Threading Analysis Tools	Linux, Windows	Intel® Threading Analysis Tools consist of the Intel® Thread Checker and the Intel® Thread Profiler. The Intel® Thread Checker can help identify shared and private variable conflicts, and can isolate threading bugs to the source code line where the bug occurs. The Intel® Thread Profiler can show the critical path of an application as it moves from thread to thread, and identify synchronization issues and excessive blocking time that cause delays for Win32, POSIX threaded, and OpenMP* code.
