FYI. Note in particular the following: Revision 5.0.6 is meant to be the last update of version 5.0 before the release of the upcoming version 5.1, which will offer parallel graph partitioning features.
-- Anders We announce the release, as libre/free software, of revision 5.0.6 of the SCOTCH and PT-SCOTCH software package and library for graph and mesh/hypergraph partitioning, static mapping, and sequential and parallel sparse matrix block ordering. Revision 5.0.6 provides several new features : - the possibility, for users who have multi-process or multi-thread support, to handle compressed graphs on the fly, both on input or on output. This can save a lot of disk space and communication time when loading graph data from remote storage. This feature is available for the sequential and parallel versions of the Scotch binaries. It can handle gzip, bzip2 and lzma formats, depending on available libraries and on compile-time flags; - an interface to order sub-graphs of a given graph while accounting for its halo adjacency; - an explicit handling of 32- and 64-bit integer types by means of specific macros; - the support of the Matrix Market graph format in the graph converter. Revision 5.0.6 is meant to be the last update of version 5.0 before the release of the upcoming version 5.1, which will offer parallel graph partitioning features. What is SCOTCH ============== SCOTCH is a project carried out at the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique (LaBRI) of the Universite Bordeaux I. It is part of project ScAlApplix of INRIA Bordeaux - Sud-Ouest. Its goal is to apply graph theory, with a ``divide and conquer'' approach, to scientific computing problems such as graph partitioning, static mapping, and sparse matrix ordering. How to get SCOTCH ================= Scotch can be freely downloaded, under the terms of the CeCILL-C license. To ease the development, diffusion, and circulation of information regarding the SCOTCH project, most of its resources are now hosted on the InriaGforge platform provided by INRIA. Please refer to the SCOTCH web page at : http://www.labri.fr/~pelegrin/scotch/ for more information.
