- o It can map any weighted source graph onto any weighted target
- graph. The source and target graphs may have any topology, and their
- vertices and edges may be weighted. Moreover, both source and target
- graphs may be disconnected. This feature allows for the mapping of
- programs onto disconnected subparts of a parallel architecture made
- up of heterogeneous processors and communication links.
- .
- o It computes amalgamated block orderings of sparse matrices, for
- efficient solving using BLAS routines.
- .
- o Its running time is linear in the number of edges of the source
- graph, and logarithmic in the number of vertices of the target graph
- for mapping computations.
- .
- o It can handle indifferently graph and mesh data structures created
- within C or Fortran programs, with array indices starting from 0 or
- 1.
- .
- o It offers extended support for adaptive graphs and meshes through
- the handling of disjoint edge arrays.
- .
- o It is dynamically parametrizable thanks to strategy strings that
- are interpreted at run-time.
- .
- o It uses system memory efficiently, to process large graphs and
- meshes without incurring out-of-memory faults;
- .
- o It is highly modular and documented. Since it has been released
- under the CeCILL-C free/libre software license, it can be used as a
- testbed for the easy and quick development and testing of new
- partitioning and ordering methods.
- .
- o It can be easily interfaced to other programs. The programs
- comprising the SCOTCH project have been designed to run in
- command-line mode without any interactive prompting, so that they can
- be called easily from other programs by means of system() or popen()
- calls, or piped together on a single command line. Moreover, vertex
- labeling capabilities allow for easy renumbering of vertices.
- .
- o It provides many tools to build, check, and display graphs, meshes
- and matrix patterns.
- .
- o It is written in C and uses the POSIX interface, which makes it
- highly portable. PT-SCOTCH uses the MPI interface, and optionally the
- POSIX threads.
