Back to the subject issue of Metis memory usage - https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/blob/master/src/partitioning/metis_partitioner.C#L105
We build a std::map<> from Elem* to a unique sorted contiguous ID, as Metis only considers the active elements and needs some contiguous numbering. I expect that gets quite big, and maybe should be refactored to use a sorted std::vector<std::pair<Elem*, dof_id_type> > instead? We could build it in one pass, sort it, and then use it with a binary search or something. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
