<h2>
|
|
<a NAME="PT-Scotch"></a>Nested Dissection by Scotch</h2> Nested
|
|
Dissection is a popular method to compute fill-reducing orderings for
|
|
graphs and sparse matrices. It can also be used for other ordering
|
|
purposes. The algorithm recursively finds a separator (bisector) in a
|
|
graph, orders the nodes in the two subsets first, and nodes in the
|
|
separator last.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Scotch is a library for ordering and partitioning, developed at LaBRI
|
|
in Bordeaux, France. PT-Scotch is the parallel module in Scotch. (We
|
|
use the names Scotch and PT-Scotch interchangeably.) Scotch is a
|
|
third-party library in Zoltan and should be obtained separately from
|
|
the <a href="https://www.labri.fr/perso/pelegrin/scotch/">Scotch web
|
|
site</a>. Zoltan supports version 5.1 of Scotch.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the parameter <a href="ug_order.html#ORDER_METHOD">ORDER_METHOD</a> is
|
|
set to SCOTCH, the sequential version of Scotch is called.
|
|
If the parameter <a href="ug_order.html#ORDER_METHOD">ORDER_METHOD</a> is
|
|
set to PTSCOTCH, the parallel version of Scotch (PT-Scotch) is called.
