In the push to meet demands for functionality and speed, software teams are moving away from single processor architectures at a rapid rate. But the realities of developing software for these next-generation architectures is introducing significant complexity when it comes to identifying errors in the software - specifically concurrency errors and endian incompatibilities.

This technical white paper looks at the issues of developing for multicore[] and multiprocessor environments in detail, explains how static analysis can be used to address them, and walks through two examples in prominent open source projects.
