Figure 54: Attach to an
Existing Process
If TotalView supports your program’s parallel process runtime library (for example,
MPI, PVM, or UPC), it automatically connects to remote hosts. For more information,
see Chapter 7, “Setting Up Parallel Debugging Sessions,” on page 131.
� Attach to process
Selecting this entry from the pulldown list on the left adds a list of processes
running on a machine to which you can attach. (See Figure 54 on
page 60.)
This new information at the bottom of the window is a list of the processes
executing on the selected host. To attach to a program, simply
click on the program’s name, then press the OK button.
You can select processes on other hosts by changing the information in
the on host area.
You cannot attach to processes running on another host if you are using
TotalView Individual.
For more information, see “Attaching to Processes” on page 61.
� Open a core file
Selecting this entry from the pulldown list changes the information being
displayed in the dialog box so that you can open a core file. (See
Figure 55.)
The dialog box now contains a text field and browse button that you can
use to name the core file, which is usually named core (of course). TotalView
also requires that you enter the name of program that dumped the core file.
For more information, see “Examining Core Files” on page 63.
