Intel® Inspector XE - memory and thread checker
Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE - performance profiler

Click the following links for information on additional features of Parallel Studio:

Pointer Checker - a debugging feature that can help you find buffer overruns in your Linux* OS application. The feature performs run-time bounds checking for memory accesses through pointers and identifies any out-of-bounds accesses in pointer checker enabled code. For more information, see the C++ Compiler XE online help.
Static Analysis - a feature that enables you to find latent coding errors and security risks. Set up a static analysis build, run the analysis, and then view the results in the Intel Inspector XE.
Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) - a software library that can help you optimize compute-intense applications. Available as a component of C++ Composer XE.
Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) - a computing math library of highly optimized, extensively threaded routines for applications that require maximum performance. Available as a component of C++ Composer XE, or Fortran Composer XE.
Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) - a template-based runtime library that can help you harness the latent performance of multicore processors. Available as a component of C++ Composer XE.
