  METIS:
    Description:
      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. 

     Versions:
        METIS/5.1.0-GCCcore-12.3.0
        METIS/5.1.0-GCCcore-13.3.0
