Where can we find the metis graph-partitioning software? (Web site not active)

[smasters]

The link in the user's guide (p. 12) to the METIS software (http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis) doesn't go anywhere. It looks like the glaros.dtc.umn.edu site is no longer active.

I'm trying to set up a 15 km regional simulation over a small region for testing. I have the subset grid produced with the MPAS-Limited-Area program. The graph.info.part files available for this grid are all 240 processors or greater. I'm plan to run this regional simulation on a much more modest system so I need to be able to make something more modest.

Thanks for spotting this. It looks like Metis is now available from a GitHub repository at: GitHub - KarypisLab/METIS: METIS - Serial Graph Partitioning and Fill-reducing Matrix Ordering . It also appears that GKlib must first be installed before installing Metis; you can find GKlib at GitHub - KarypisLab/GKlib: A library of various helper routines and frameworks used by many of the lab's software .

I'll get this updated in the MPAS-Atmosphere User's Guide, too.
