METIS

METIS is a software module available on Comet.

METIS overview

To access METIS on Comet, run module load METIS. This will load the default version of METIS.

An overview of the module information is shown below (module -r spider ^METIS$):

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

  For detailed information about a specific "METIS" package (including how to load the modules) use the module's full name.
  Note that names that have a trailing (E) are extensions provided by other modules.
  For example:

     $ module spider METIS/5.1.0-GCCcore-13.3.0

If there are multiple versions of METIS listed, then you can load a specific version as follows:

$ module load METIS/version_string

You can find the most up to date information whilst logged on to Comet by running module -r spider ^METIS$.
