+/** ScheduleEntry class represents a single function that an instruction
+    wants to do at any pipeline stage. For example, if an instruction
+    needs to be decoded and do a branch prediction all in one stage
+    then each of those tasks would need it's own ScheduleEntry.
+
+    Each schedule entry corresponds to some resource that the instruction
+    wants to interact with.
+
+    The file pipeline_traits.cc shows how a typical instruction schedule is
+    made up of these schedule entries.
