A software package for partitioning large hypergraphs, especially those arising in circuit design.
Technology No. Z00033
IP Status: Trademarked

Applications

  • Very large scale integration (VLSI) design
  • Data-mining
  • Efficient storage of large databases on disks
  • Transportation management

Technology Overview

hMETIS is a set of programs for partitioning hypergraphs such as those corresponding to VLSI circuits. The algorithms implemented by hMETIS are based on the multilevel hypergraph partitioning scheme. hMETIS provides high-quality partitions extremely fast.

Phase of Development

TRL: 9
Broadly implemented, with over 1900 citations. This is a non-open, fee-based version of METIS (https://github.com/KarypisLab/METIS) built specifically for hypergraph partitioning.
