Example 05 - Declaring Task Dependencies

HPC Runner has two levels of dependencies. The first is the job type, declared as

#HPC jobname=preprocess

#HPC jobname=qc
#HPC deps=preprocess

The second level declares within job type task dependencies.

#HPC jobname=preprocess
#TASK tags=sample1
preprocess sample1
#TASK tags=sample2
preprocess sample2

#HPC jobname=qc
#HPC deps=preprocess
#TASK tags=sample1
qc sample1
#TASK tags=sample2
qc sample2

Now, the qc job tagged with sample1 would only depend upon the sample1 task in preprocess, instead of the entire preprocess job.
