EEMBC Adopts DoubleCheck™ For Its Industry-Standard
Processor Benchmarks
Green Hills Software’s Static Analysis Tool Increases Code
Quality
SANTA BARBARA, CA—March 21, 2007—Green Hills Software,
Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time
operating systems (RTOS), today announced that the Embedded Microprocessor
Benchmark Consortium has adopted the Green Hills Software DoubleCheck™ static
analysis tool to help ensure the highest level of quality for EEMBC® benchmark
software.
“DoubleCheck has performed as well as other significantly more
expensive source code analyzer products on the market,” commented
Shay Gal-On, chief software engineer, EEMBC. “We were impressed
with DoubleCheck’s ability to detect a wide range of software flaws,
its low false positive rate, its execution time performance, and the
intuitive format and usability of its reports.”
EEMBC is running DoubleCheck on its software benchmark suite consisting
of more than one million source lines of code, and, in addition, is using
DoubleCheck to help ensure the quality of new benchmark software being
developed, including EEMBC’s latest multicore benchmark framework.
“The ability to predict and prevent flaws before the software
is even executed is a key part of Green Hills Software’s multi-tiered
strategy to ensure reliability and security of electronic devices and
systems,” commented David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer,
Green Hills Software. “In addition, DoubleCheck reduces time-to-market
and development cost for businesses by enabling them to complete projects
faster than is possible when limited to traditional debugging and testing
techniques.”
About DoubleCheck Source Code Analyzer
DoubleCheck builds on Green Hills Software's 25
years of compiler technology expertise to locate software flaws that
lead to security and reliability failures in software. DoubleCheck processes
the entire project's source code to find flaws, such as buffer overflows,
resource leaks, invalid pointer references, overly complex code (as measured
by metrics such as McCabe), and violations of safe language rules such
as MISRA 2004. DoubleCheck differs
from other static analysis tools by virtue of its speedy analysis time
and full integration with the integrated development environment (IDE).
Whereas other static analysis tools are relegated to sporadic use by
quality assurance teams, DoubleCheck can be enabled by all developers
all the time, ensuring that bugs are found and eradicated as quickly
as possible. Because it is integrated with the MULTI
IDE, no extra work is needed to ensure that DoubleCheck can handle
even the largest source code bases. DoubleCheck generates reports that
can be conveniently browsed with any web client.
