/**************************************************************************
 * This source file implements a variation on distributed Dijkstra's      *
 * algorithm that can expose additional parallelism by permitting         *
 * vertices within a certain distance from the minimum to be processed,   *
 * even though they may not be at their final distance. This can          *
 * introduce looping, but the algorithm will still terminate so long as   *
 * there are no negative loops.                                           *
