This file contains two test problems 4elt.graph This is a small graph corresponding to a 2D finite element mesh test.mgraph This is a very small graph with two vertex weights (multi-constraint) metis.mesh This is a small 2D mesh (It is a triangulation of 'METIS') You can use them to test the various partitioning, and ordering routines. For example try something like ../kmetis 4elt.graph 40 ../onmetis 4elt.graph ../pmetis test.mgraph 2 ../kmetis test.mgraph 2 ../kmetis test.mgraph 5 ../partnmesh metis.mesh 10 ../partdmesh metis.mesh 10 ../mesh2dual metis.mesh ../kmetis metis.mesh.dgraph 10 and so on... You can also use the 'mtest' program that tests the various partitioning routines. Here is how the correct output of 'mtest 4elt.graph' should look like. prompt%: mtest 4elt.graph ********************************************************************** METIS 4.0 Copyright 1998, Regents of the University of Minnesota Graph Information --------------------------------------------------- Name: 4elt.graph, #Vertices: 15606, #Edges: 45878 Testing METIS_PartGraphRecursive ------------------------------------ [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok] Testing METIS_WPartGraphRecursive ----------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok] Testing METIS_PartGraphKway ----------------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok][7:ok][8:ok] Testing METIS_WPartGraphKway ---------------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok][7:ok][8:ok] Testing METIS_PartGraphVKway ---------------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok][7:ok] Testing METIS_WPartGraphVKway --------------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok][7:ok] Testing METIS_mCPartGraphRecursive ---------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok][7:ok][8:ok][9:ok][10:ok] [11:ok][12:ok] Testing METIS_mCPartGraphKway --------------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok][7:ok][8:ok][9:ok][10:ok] [11:ok][12:ok][13:ok][14:ok] Testing METIS_EdgeND ------------------------------------------------ [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok] Testing METIS_NodeND ------------------------------------------------ [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok][7:ok][8:ok][9:ok][10:ok] [11:ok][12:ok][13:ok] Testing METIS_NodeWND ----------------------------------------------- [1:ok][2:ok][3:ok][4:ok][5:ok][6:ok] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Testing completed. **********************************************************************
