 Executive Summary
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Valgrind is an award-winning instrumentation framework for building
-dynamic analysis tools. There are Valgrind tools that can automatically
-detect many memory management and threading bugs, and profile your
-programs in detail. You can also use Valgrind to build new tools.

 The Valgrind distribution currently includes six production-quality
-tools: a memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cache and
-branch-prediction profiler, a call-graph generating cache profiler, and
-a heap profiler. It also includes two experimental tools:  a
-heap/stack/global array overrun detector, and a SimPoint basic block vector
