General Usage

The Zoltan library is a toolkit of parallel combinatorial algorithms for parallel, unstructured, and/or adaptive scientific applications. Zoltan's largest component is a suite of dynamic load-balancing and partitioning algorithms that increase applications' parallel performance by reducing idle time. Zoltan also has graph coloring and graph ordering algorithms, which are useful in task schedulers and parallel preconditioners.

The following environmental variables have been defined:

  • $ZOLTAN_ROOT has been set to the root of the zoltan installation
  • $ZOLTAN_LIBDIR points to the directory containing the libraries
  • $ZOLTAN_INCDIR points to the directory containing the header files

You will probably wish to use these by adding the following flags to your compilation command (e.g. to CFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -I$ZOLTAN_INCDIR

and the following flags to your link command (e.g. LDFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -L$ZOLTAN_LIBDIR -Wl,-rpath,$ZOLTAN_LIBDIR
