2 \page medpartitioner MEDPartitioner tool
4 The purpose of MEDPartitioner is to split MED files into
5 a series of other MED files forming a partition of the original MED
6 files. It can either work with serial meshes (1 to n) or distributed
7 meshes (p to n). For serial meshes, it accepts MED files from the 2.2
8 version onwards. For distributed MED files, it accepts MED files from
9 the 2.3 version onwards.
11 It can be used either as an executable, \a medpartitioner or as a library. The partitioning is made thanks to one of the following library :
12 - METIS (http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis/index.html)
13 - SCOTCH (http://www.labri.fr/perso/pelegrin/scotch/scotch_fr.html)
15 The arguments to the medpartitioner tool can be retrieved by calling :
20 There exists a parallel version of MEDPartitioner, which accepts
21 distributed MED files only. In contrast to the ordinary MEDPartitioner
22 the parallel one distributes several usual MED files composing the
23 whole model among available processors. It uses parallel versions of
24 the partitioning libraries: ParaMETIS and PT-SCOTCH. After the
25 partitioning each processor writes only it's own part of the
26 distributed MED file. The parallel MEDPartitioner processes meshes only,
29 It can be used either as an executable, \a medpartitioner_para or as a library.
