The following are all examples of valid dummy distributions,
DISTRIBUTE (CYCLIC) ONTO P :: A -- distribute A
cyclically onto P.DISTRIBUTE *(CYCLIC) ONTO P :: A -- A already has
cyclic
distribution but may not be distributed over P.DISTRIBUTE (CYCLIC) ONTO *P :: A -- A is distributed
over P but may not have CYCLIC distribution.DISTRIBUTE *(CYCLIC) ONTO *P :: A -- A already has
cyclic
distribution over P.
