Attaching to a running program

TotalView can attach to a running MPI program, which is particularly useful if you suspect that your code has deadlocked. To do this start TotalView with no arguments, and then press ` N' in the root window. This will bring up a list of the processes that you can attach to. When you dive through the initial mpich process in this window TotalView will also acquire all of the other mpich processes (even if they are not local). (See the TotalView manual for more details of this process.)
