EasyConfig:

Technical documentation

METIS is mature code, there doesn't really seem to be any development anymore. The 4.0.3 release is from 2013.

EasyBuild

Version 4.0.3 from CPE 21.08 on

  • Our EasyConfig is derived from the EasyBuilders one.

    It uses the default EasyBuild ParMETIS EasyBlock.

  • Note that the way the EasyBlock builds ParMETIS seems to differ somewhat from the way the Cray TPSL script does the job. The latter does seen to use METIS during the build.

The EasyConfigs below are additonal easyconfigs that are not directly available on the system for installation. Users are advised to use the newer ones and these archived ones are unsupported. They are still provided as a source of information should you need this, e.g., to understand the configuration that was used for earlier work on the system.
