TotalView Family Differences

This manual describes the TotalView for HPC, TotalView Team, and TotalView Individual debuggers. Each of these supports the use of the CLI debugger as well. In all cases, TotalView for HPC and TotalView Team have the same features, differing only in the way they are licensed. TotalView Individual differs in its feature set.

NOTE >> The most fundamental differences between TotalView Team and TotalView for HPC are the way resources are shared and used. When you purchase TotalView Team, you are purchasing “tokens.” These tokens represent debugging capabilities. For example, if you have 64 tokens available, 64 programmers could be active, each debugging a one-process job; or two programmers, each debugging a 32-process job. In contrast, a TotalView for HPC license is based on the number of users and the number of licensed processors. You’ll find more precise information on our web site.
