  // in the IS_DISPATCHED stage.
  //
  // An Instruction transitions from the WaitSet to the PendingSet if the
  // instruction is not ready yet, but the latency of every register read is
  // known.  Instructions in the PendingSet can only be in the IS_PENDING or
  // IS_READY stage.  Only IS_READY instructions that are waiting on memory
  // dependencies can be added to the PendingSet.
  //
  // Instructions in the PendingSet are immediately dominated only by
  // instructions that have already been issued to the underlying pipelines.  In
  // the presence of bottlenecks caused by data dependencies, the PendingSet can
  // be inspected to identify problematic data dependencies between
  // instructions.
  //
  // An instruction is moved to the ReadySet when all register operands become
  // available, and all memory dependencies are met.  Instructions that are
  // moved from the PendingSet to the ReadySet must transition to the 'IS_READY'
  // stage.
  //
  // On every cycle, the Scheduler checks if it can promote instructions from the
  // PendingSet to the ReadySet.
  //
  // An Instruction is moved from the ReadySet to the `IssuedSet` when it starts
  // exection. This event also causes an instruction state transition (i.e. from
