entities within
the application domain. In the road map example from the previous
section, the vertices in the graph represent cities. The distributed
adjacency list supports named vertices, which provides an implicit
mapping from the names of the vertices in the application domain
(e.g., the name of a city, such as &quot;Bloomington&quot;) to the actual vertex
descriptor stored within the distributed graph (e.g., the third vertex
on processor 1). By enabling support for named vertices, one can refer
to ver
