Placing Processes into Groups

TotalView uses your executable's name to determine the share group to which the program belongs. It does not examine the program to see if it is identical to another program with the same name; TotalView assumes the programs are identical because their names are identical.

TotalView does not expand a program's full path name, so if one instance of a program is named with the full path name (./foo), and another is named with the file name (foo), the programs are placed in different share groups.
