## Notes
|
|
|
|
The execution of a Nextflow pipeline occurs in two phases. In the first phase, Nextflow parses and runs the script (using the language extensions in [nextflow.ast](nextflow.ast.md) and [nextflow.extension](nextflow.extension.md)), which produces the workflow DAG. In the second phase, Nextflow executes the workflow.
|
|
|
|
```{note}
|
|
In DSL1, there was no separation between workflow construction and execution -- dataflow operators were executed as soon as they were constructed. DSL2 introduced lazy execution in order to separate process definition from execution, and thereby facilitate subworkflows and modules.
