Abstract

We present heuristic mesh-partitioning method build on the ant-colony algorithm (ACA) in order to improve the quality of the mesh partitions. The method focuses on improving the initial partition that is submitted to the ACA. The method is experimentally compared with the well-known mesh-partitioning programs pMETIS 4.0 and Chaco 2.0.
