Parallel & GPU Technologies
Everything You Need from TotalView
Comprehensive features designed to accelerate your security programme and reduce risk across the entire development lifecycle.
Multi-Process & Thread Debugging
Debug hundreds of processes and thousands of threads simultaneously with complete control over execution and state inspection.
Memory Debugging
MemoryScape, included with TotalView, detects memory leaks, out-of-bounds memory block overwrites, and improper memory-API use in C, C++, and Fortran applications.
CUDA GPU Debugging
Debug NVIDIA GPU applications with full thread-level visibility - essential for AI/ML and HPC workloads.
Reverse Debugging
Step backwards through execution to find the exact root cause of bugs - dramatically reducing debugging time.
Evaluation Points
Set powerful conditional breakpoints that execute custom code or collect data without stopping execution - perfect for production diagnostics.
MPI & OpenMP Support
Support for MPI and OpenMP parallel programming models, used across HPC and scientific computing.
Is TotalView Right for Your Team?
Perforce, the company behind TotalView, names HPC developers, researchers, professors, students and animators as its users, and lists research labs, higher education, oil and gas, and computer animation among the industries it says rely on TotalView.
TotalView Is a Good Fit For
- HPC developers debugging multi-process, multi-threaded and GPU applications
- Researchers, professors and students working on university and national-lab HPC projects
- Oil and gas modelling teams running large, cluster-scale simulations
- Computer animation studios debugging 2D and 3D rendering code
Why Teams Choose TotalView
- Building and debugging complex multithreaded, multiprocess and GPU-specific applications is hard, and finding bugs in them is harder
- Codebases with hundreds of millions of lines plus shared libraries, arrays, threads and processes are difficult to trace by hand
- Memory leaks, buffer overwrites and other memory issues need a dedicated detection workflow
- GPU code on NVIDIA and AMD hardware needs host and device debugging in the same session
What You Gain with TotalView
Scales from desktop to supercomputer
Perforce states that TotalView is built to scale from desktops to the largest supercomputers.
Thousands of threads and processes at once
TotalView can simultaneously debug thousands of concurrent threads and processes, individually and as groups.
Reverse debugging with ReplayEngine
TotalView includes ReplayEngine, which records execution so you can step backward and forward by function, line or instruction to find the root cause of a bug without repeated restarts.
Memory debugging with MemoryScape
The MemoryScape memory debugger, included with TotalView, detects memory leaks, out-of-bounds memory block overwrites and improper memory-API use in C, C++ and Fortran applications.
GPU debugging for NVIDIA and AMD
TotalView debugs CUDA applications on the latest NVIDIA GPUs and HIP applications on the latest AMD ROCm/HIP GPUs, with NVIDIA and Cray OpenACC support.
MPI, OpenMP and SLURM support
TotalView supports the MPI and OpenMP parallel programming technologies and the SLURM resource manager, so it fits directly into existing HPC job workflows.
TotalView: Supported Languages and Integrations
Supported Languages & Platforms
Taken from Perforce's TotalView 2026.3 platform-support documentation (help.totalview.io, last published 8 September 2026): C, C++ and Fortran are the core debugged languages, with Python supported for mixed-language debugging. Supported operating systems include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Rocky Linux, macOS and AIX, across x86-64, ARM64 and PowerLE/OpenPOWER architectures; check the current documentation for your exact OS version before buying.
Integrations
Batch schedulers / resource managers
Remote debugging clients
IDEs
CI/CD, source control and ticketing
Lists follow the vendor's published documentation as checked in September 2026. Support varies by version and edition, so ask us to confirm your exact stack.
TotalView Price, Licence Cost and Free Trial in India
Perforce does not publish a price list for TotalView. Its commercial evaluation is provided through a request form rather than an open download, and licensing is arranged by quotation, so SecOpsTool prepares pricing for your team.
How TotalView Licensing Works
- Perforce does not publish TotalView prices: no price list was found on its product, trial or download pages
- The commercial evaluation is requested through a form, not an open download, and Perforce's pages do not state a specific trial length
- A separate free 6-month student licence exists for full-time students, but it is node-locked, limited to four threads/processes, and for classroom use only
- TotalView includes MemoryScape (memory debugging) and ReplayEngine (reverse debugging) under the same licence

TotalView: Pricing, Trial and Product Questions
Perforce does not publish TotalView prices, so there is no list price to quote. Tell us your team size, target platforms and the parallel technologies you need (MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, HIP), and SecOpsTool provides a written quotation, usually within 24 hours.
Use the form on this page and choose Price quotation. Tell us your team size and the modules or licence type you need, and SecOpsTool sends a written TotalView quotation, usually within 24 hours.
Perforce gates TotalView's commercial evaluation behind a request form and does not publish a specific trial length; a separate 6-month student licence exists for full-time students only, with usage limits. SecOpsTool arranges a 14-day TotalView trial licence for teams in India, along with the installers and help with setup.
Perforce's documentation covers C, C++ and Fortran as the core supported languages, with Python supported for mixed-language debugging alongside them.
Yes. Perforce states TotalView debugs CUDA applications on NVIDIA GPUs and HIP applications on AMD ROCm/HIP GPUs, with NVIDIA and Cray OpenACC support, across Linux x86-64, ARM and PowerLE.
No. Perforce documents those standards for its QAC and Klocwork static analysis products, not for TotalView, which is an HPC runtime debugger. We found no TotalView page that ties it to DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508 or MIL-STD-498.
Perforce documents support for the MPI and OpenMP parallel programming models, CUDA and HIP/ROCm GPU debugging, OpenACC, and the SLURM resource manager.
