METIS is a C library and set of serial programs for partitioning graphs and finite element meshes, and for computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices. It implements multilevel recursive-bisection, multilevel k-way, and multi-constraint partitioning algorithms.

Use cases

  • partition a large graph into balanced parts
  • compute fill-reducing orderings for sparse matrix factorization
  • partition finite element meshes for parallel simulation
  • split graphs for distributed computing workloads
  • multi-constraint graph partitioning for load balancing

When to choose

  • you need fast, high-quality graph or mesh partitioning in C/C++
  • you want fill-reducing orderings for sparse linear solvers
  • you need a mature, widely used HPC partitioning library

When to avoid

  • you need distributed (multi-node) partitioning rather than serial
  • you need a pure Python or managed-language solution
  • you require a permissively simple license without checking the Apache 2.0 terms
