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.
