Description
I get this question fairly often: how to make special stuff happen in the first cycle, before the next cycle starts.
If there's no inter-cycle dependence, some users find it surprising that upcoming cycles start running concurrently with the first cycle.
Example:
# First cycle only:
a => b => x
# Subsequent cycles:
x => y
# Caveat: there's no dependence between instances of `x`; but none of them should
# run before 1/b is finished, because it does some kind of prep needed by all `x`s.
If all xs do technically depend on b, as described, we should take that literally:
R1 = "a => b"
P1 = "b[^] => x => y"(TODO: there used to be some downsides to perpetual dependence on the initial cycle point - for graph visualization, and cycle computation? - not sure if that still matters for Cylc 8).
Alternatively, use an artificial dependence between instances of x that makes them submit in order but still allows them to run concurrently:
R1 = "a => b => x"
P1 = "x[-P1] => x => y"Reactions are currently unavailable
