| 5 | Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | METIS is a software package for partitioning unstructured graphs, partitioning |
|---|
| 8 | meshes, and computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices. |
|---|
| 9 | The documentation of METIS can be found in the Doc/manual.ps file. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | METIS is written in ANSI C and should compile on Unix systems that have |
|---|
| 12 | a ANSI C compiler. It has been extensively tested on the following |
|---|
| 13 | architectures: |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | AIX |
|---|
| 16 | SunOS |
|---|
| 17 | Solaris |
|---|
| 18 | IRIX |
|---|
| 19 | Unicos |
|---|
| 20 | Linux |
|---|
| 21 | HP-UX |
|---|
| 22 | FreeBSD |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | Installation Instructions ----------------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | In order to build METIS you need |
|---|
| 28 | (a) a C compiler that is ANSI compatible |
|---|
| 29 | (b) make |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | Edit the file Makefile.in that resides in the same directory as this file |
|---|
| 32 | according to the requirements of your system. In particular you may need |
|---|
| 33 | to modify the following: |
|---|
| 34 | 1. The CC variable, to be the name of the ANSI C compiler |
|---|
| 35 | in your system. The GNU C compiler (gcc) will do. |
|---|
| 36 | 2. The settings for the AR and RANLIB variables that are suitable for |
|---|
| 37 | you system. Note that some systems do not have 'ranlib' but they use |
|---|
| 38 | 'ar -ts' instead, or it is not needed all together. |
|---|
| 39 | 3. You can use COPTIONS and LDOPTIONS to provide additional command line |
|---|
| 40 | options that are required by your compiler and linker. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | After saving the modified Makefile.in, type 'make' at the prompt. This will |
|---|
| 44 | build all of METIS's stand-alone programs, METIS's library, and a program that |
|---|
| 45 | tests the various partitioning algorithms. |
|---|
| 46 | Upon successful completion, make creates the following 11 files: |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | pmetis, |
|---|
| 49 | kmetis, |
|---|
| 50 | oemetis, |
|---|
| 51 | onmetis, |
|---|
| 52 | partnmesh, |
|---|
| 53 | partdmesh, |
|---|
| 54 | mesh2nodal, |
|---|
| 55 | mesh2dual, |
|---|
| 56 | graphchk, |
|---|
| 57 | libmetis.a |
|---|
| 58 | Graphs/mtest |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | Please read the instructions in the file Graphs/0README on how to go and |
|---|
| 61 | test the various programs. |
