METIS computes a local ordering of the objects on each processor, while ParMETIS performs a global ordering of all the objects. ParMETIS currently (version 3.1, supported by Zoltan) requires that the number of processors is a power of two.
The generic name for this method is NODEND.
If GRAPH_TYPE=GLOBAL
ParMETIS is called, but if it is LOCAL, METIS is called. Alternatively,
the user can simply set ORDER_METHOD to METIS or PARMETIS.
