<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">non_distributed_betweenness_centrality()</span></tt> function computes the
betweenness centrality of the vertices and edges in a graph. The name
is somewhat confusing, the graph <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">g</span></tt> is not a distributed graph,
however the algorithm does run in parallel. Rather than parallelizing
the individual shortest paths calculations that are required by
betweenness centrality, this variant of the algorithm performs the
shortest paths calculations in parallel with each process in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pg</span></tt>
calculating the shortest path from a different set of source vertices
using the BGL's implementation of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.boost.org/libs/graph/doc/dijkstra_shortest_paths.html">Dijkstra shortest paths</a>. Each
process accumulates into it's local centrality map and once all the
shortest paths calculations are performed a reduction is performed to
combine the centrality from all the processes.</p>

<p>Each of the shortest paths calculations is <em>O(V log V)</em> and each of
them may be run in parallel (one per process in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pg</span></tt>). The

</div>
<div class="section" id="algorithm-description">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Algorithm Description</a></h1>
<p>The algorithm uses a non-distributed (sequential) graph, as well as
non-distributed property maps. Each process contains a separate copy
of the sequential graph <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">g</span></tt>. In order for the algorithm to be
correct, these copies of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">g</span></tt> must be identical. The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sources</span></tt>
buffer contains the vertices to use as the source of single source
shortest paths calculations when approximating betweenness centrality
using a subset of the vertices in the graph. If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sources</span></tt> is empty
then a complete betweenness centrality calculation is performed using
all vertices.</p>
<p>In the sequential phase of the algorithm each process computes
shortest paths from a subset of the vertices in the graph using the
Brandes shortest paths methods from the BGL's betweenness centrality
implementation. In the parallel phase of the algorithm a reduction is
performed to sum the values computed by each process for all vertices
in the graph.</p>
<p>Either weighted or unweighted betweenness centrality is calculated
depending on whether a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">WeightMap</span></tt> is passed.</p>
