[Trilinos-Users] How to change the row map of EpetraCrs matrix to achieve load balance ?

[Erik Boman]

The best way to load balance an Epetra matrix is to use the Isorropia 
package:
  http://trilinos.sandia.gov/packages/isorropia/

Isorropia can balance either the rows or the number of nonzeros (which 
corresponds to memory).
Isorropia uses the partitioning methods in the Zoltan package. The 
default method is hypergraph partitioning,
which is good at minimizing communication but can be rather expensive to 
compute. For a faster method,
try "block".

If you use Isorropia's Redistributor, you don't need to do the 
import/export yourself.
