METIS is a set of serial programs for partitioning graphs, partitioning finite element meshes, and producing fill-reducing orderings for sparse matrices. The algorithms implemented in METIS are based on the multilevel recursive-bisection, multilevel k-way, and multi-constraint partitioning schemes developed in our lab. METIS provides high-quality partitions, is extremely fast, and produces low-fill orderings. WWW: http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/metis/metis/overview
