metis

brew install metis v5.1.0 Apache-2.0

Graph and matrix partitioning library written in C for divide-and-conquer domain decomposition.

Why you might care

Essential dependency for scientific computing and finite-element analysis; partitions large graphs and sparse matrices across multiple processors to balance computational load. Used by many FEM/CFD solvers and linear algebra libraries. METIS is a mature, widely-trusted standard in HPC workflows.
