Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Section: non-free/science -- Is this okay? Description: Software package for partitioning unstructured graphs METIS is a software package for partitioning unstructured graphs, partitioning meshes, and computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices. The algorithms in METIS are based on multilevel graph partitioning resulting in high quality partitions and low fill orderings while running very fast
