Understanding Group Width
At group width, the GOI is the control group, which is all processes associated with the program you are debugging. TotalView examines all of the processes and looks for processes that have a thread stopped at the same location as the TOI. These are deemed to be matching processes. TotalView runs these matching processes until one of their threads arrives at the goal. When this happens, TotalView stops that thread’s process. The command finishes when all matching processes have been stopped.
Debugging commands selected from the Group menu also run at group width.
