Attention

GPU users: GPU nodes run EL9, while this documentation still reflects the EL7 software stack.

Run module avail on an EL9 login node, or within an interactive session on the relevant GPU type, to see the software available.

The documentation will be updated once all nodes have migrated to EL9.

ParMETIS

ParMETIS is an MPI-based parallel library that implements a variety of algorithms for partitioning unstructured graphs, meshes, and for computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices. ParMETIS extends the functionality provided by METIS and includes routines that are especially suited for parallel AMR computations and large scale numerical simulations. The algorithms implemented in ParMETIS are based on the parallel multilevel k-way graph-partitioning, adaptive repartitioning, and parallel multi-constrained partitioning schemes.

Note

This is an autogenerated page, more detail including examples may be available for this package. Please see the first section of Software on Stanage

After connecting to Stanage (see Establishing a SSH connection), start an interactive session with the following command:

srun --pty bash -i

A version of ParMETIS can then be made available with one of the following:

module load ParMETIS/4.0.3-foss-2022b
module load ParMETIS/4.0.3-gompi-2022a
module load ParMETIS/4.0.3-gompi-2022b

Notes

ParMETIS was installed using Easybuild, build details can be found in $EBROOTPARMETIS/easybuild with a given module loaded.
