This class template implements a generator for R-MAT graphs [CZF04]_,
suitable for initializing an adjacency_list or other graph structure
with iterator-based initialization. An R-MAT graph has a scale-free
distribution w.r.t. vertex degree and is implemented using
Recursive-MATrix partitioning.

Where Defined
-------------
<``boost/graph/rmat_graph_generator.hpp``>

Constructors
------------

::

  scalable_rmat_iterator();

Constructs a past-the-end iterator.

::

  scalable_rmat_iterator(ProcessGroup pg, Distribution distrib,
                         RandomGenerator& gen, vertices_size_type n, 
                         edges_size_type m, double a, double b, double c, 
                         double d, bool permute_vertices = true);

Constructs an R-MAT generator iterator that creates a graph with ``n``
vertices and ``m`` edges.  Inside the ``scalable_rmat_iterator``
processes communicate using ``pg`` to generate their local edges as
defined by ``distrib``.  ``a``, ``b``, ``c``, and ``d`` represent the
probability that a generated edge is placed of each of the 4 quadrants
of the partitioned adjacency matrix.  Probabilities are drawn from the
random number generator ``gen``.  Vertex indices are permuted to
eliminate locality when ``permute_vertices`` is true.

Example
-------

::

  #include <boost/graph/distributed/mpi_process_group.hpp>
  #include <boost/graph/compressed_sparse_row_graph.hpp>
  #include <boost/graph/rmat_graph_generator.hpp>
  #include <boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp>

  using boost::graph::distributed::mpi_process_group;

  typedef compressed_sparse_row_graph<directedS, no_property, no_property, no_property,
                                      distributedS<mpi_process_group> > Graph;
  typedef boost::scalable_rmat_iterator<boost::minstd_rand, Graph> RMATGen;

  int main()
  {
    boost::minstd_rand gen;
    mpi_process_group pg;

    int N = 100;

    boost::parallel::variant_distribution<ProcessGroup> distrib 
      = boost::parallel::block(pg, N);

    // Create graph with 100 nodes and 400 edges 
    Graph g(RMATGen(pg, distrib, gen, N, 400, 0.57, 0.19, 0.19, 0.05), 
            RMATGen(), N, pg, distrib);
    return 0;
  }
