METIS is a set of programs for partitioning graphs and for producing fill reducing orderings for sparse matrices. The algorithms implemented by METIS are based on the multilevel graph partitioning scheme described in [KK95a] and [KK95e]. METIS provides high quality partitions, is extremely fast, and produces low fill orderings. WWW: http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/metis/metis/
