> ==============

> SCOTCH is a project carried out at the Laboratoire Bordelais de

> part of project ScAlApplix of INRIA Bordeaux - Sud-Ouest. Its goal is
> to apply graph theory, with a ``divide and conquer'' approach, to
> scientific computing problems such as graph partitioning, static
> mapping, and sparse matrix ordering.
