“Next-steps” all threads in the lockstep group associated with the thread of interest that are within the current process over an assembler instruction. That is, this command tells TotalView to allow execution of the next instruction. If the current instruction is a function call, the call is executed as if it were a single instruction.

If the process exists, TotalView runs the selected thread until the PC reaches the next address for which it has information. If the process does not yet exist, this command launches the process and runs the first thread until the PC reaches the first address for which TotalView has information.

While the lockstep group is being run to the next instruction, the entire process is also allowed to run. The operation does not complete until all the threads in the lockstep group thread finish stepping or another thread hits a breakpoint.
