dcalltree
Displays parallel backtrace data
Format
dcalltree [-datapbv_data_array] [-show_details] [-sortcolumns] [-hide_backtrace] [-save_as_csvfilename] [‑save_as_dotfilename]
Arguments
-datapbv_data_array
Captures the data from calling dcalltree in an associative Tcl array rather than writing the data to the console.
-show_details
Displays the data with all processes and threads displayed.
-hide_backtrace
Displays the data with only root and leaf nodes displayed.
-sortcolumn
Sorts the data display based on the data in a particular column. The possible arguments are Processes, Location, PC, Host, Rank, ID, and Status.
-save_as_csvfilename
Saves the backtrace data as a file of comma-separated values under the name filename.
-save_as_dotfilename
Saves the backtrace data as a dot file under the name filename. Dot is a plain text graph description language.
Description
The dcalltree command shows the state of processes and threads in a parallel job. Normally the output is written to the console, but the -data subcommand makes the data available as a Tcl associative array. The associative array has the following format:
{
{
Key <value>
Level <value>
Processes <value>
Location <value>
PC <value>
Host <value>
Rank <value>
ID <value>
Status <value>
}
{
...
}
}
If you are using the Classic TotalView UI, the data displayed by this command is similar to the data displayed in the Parallel Backtrace View window.
The -show_details and -hide_backtrace switches pull in opposite directions. The ‑show_details switch shows the maximum data, including all processes and threads. The -hide_backtrace command hides any intermediate nodes, displaying only the root and leaf nodes. If used together, this results in a display of root and leaf nodes and all threads. This reduction can help to de-clutter the data display if the number of processes and threads is large.
Command alias
Alias | Definition | Description |
|---|
ct | dcalltree | Prints data to console |
ctd | dcalltree -data | Puts data in a Tcl associative array |
ctsd | dcalltree -show_details | Prints more complete data |
ctshb | dcalltree -hide_backtrace | Prints data only on root and leaf nodes |
Examples
dfocus group dcalltree
This example first changes the focus to the group using
dfocus, then calls
dcalltree with no switches. Note that the ID column is a compressed
ptlist describing process and thread count, range, and IDs. See
Compressed List Syntax (ptlist) for more information.

dcalltree -show_details
By adding the -show_details, switch, you get more complete output:

dcalltree -show_details -hide_backtrace
Adding the -hide_backtrace switch reduces the clutter somewhat:

Here is code to get the location of all threads that are at a breakpoint:
dcalltree -data pbv_data_array -show_details
foreach { data_record } [array get pbv_data_array] {
set print_location 0
set break_location
foreach {title value} $data_record {
if {$title == "Location"} {
set break_location $value
}
if {$value == "Breakpoint"} {
set print_location 1
}
if {1 == $print_location} {
puts stdout "Breakpoint found at $break_location"
set print_location 0
}
}
}
