Overview
--------

The Parallel Boost Graph Library is an extension to the `Boost Graph
Library`_ (BGL) for parallel and distributed computing. It offers
distributed graphs and graph algorithms to exploit coarse-grained
parallelism along with parallel algorithms that exploit fine-grained
parallelism, while retaining the same interfaces as the (sequential)
BGL. Code written using the sequential BGL should be easy to
parallelize with the parallel BGL. Visitors new to the Parallel BGL
should read our `architectural overview`_.
