TotalView User Guide : Part II: Debugging Tools and Tasks : Manipulating Processes and Threads : Using the Processes/Ranks and ThreadsTabs
Using the Processes/Ranks and ThreadsTabs
The Processes Tab
The Processes tab, which is called a Ranks tab if you are running an MPI program, contains a grid. Each block in the grid represents one process. The color that TotalView uses to display a process indicates the process’s state, as follows:
Color
Meaning
Blue
Stopped; usually due to another process or thread hitting a breakpoint.
Orange
At breakpoint.
Green
All threads in the process are running or can run.
Red
The Error state. Signals such as SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, and SIGFPE can indicate an error in your program.
Gray
The process has not begun running.
Figure 192 shows a tab with processes in three different states:

If you select a group by using the Process Window’s group selector pulldown (see Using the Toolbar to Select a Target” for information), TotalView dims the blocks for processes not in the group, Figure 193.
CLI: dptsets

If you click on a block, the context within the Process Window changes to the first thread in that process.
CLI: dfocus
Clicking on the P+ and P- buttons in the tab bar also changes the process being displayed within the Process Window.
