/** There are currently 2 scheduling modes supported by CPPScheduler
 *
 * Linear:
 *  The default mode where all the scheduling is carried out by the main thread linearly (in a loop).
 *  E.G. If there are 8 threads in total, there will be 1 main thread + 7 threads in the thread pool, and it is main
 *  thread's responsibility to start all the other threads in the thread pool.
 *
 * Fanout:
 *  In fanout mode, the scheduling (starting other threads) task is distributed across many threads instead of just
 *  the main thread.
 *
 *  The scheduler has a fixed parameter: wake_fanout, and the scheduling sequence goes like this:
 *  1. Main thread wakes the first wake_fanout - 1 number of FanoutThreads from the thread pool
 *      From thread: 0
 *      To thread (non-inclusive): Wake_fanout - 1
 *  2. Each FanoutThread then wakes wake_fanout number of FanoutThreads from the thread pool:
 *      From thread: (i + 1) * wake_fanout - 1
 *      To thread (non-inclusive): (i + 2) * wake_fanout - 1
 *      where i is the current thread's thread id
 *      The end is clamped at the size of the thread pool / the number of threads in use - 1
 *
 *  E.G. for a total number of 8 threads (1 main thread, 7 FanoutThreads in thread pool) with a fanout of 3
 *  1. Main thread wakes FanoutThread 0, 1
 *  2. FanoutThread 0 wakes FanoutThread 2, 3, 4
 *  3. FanoutThread 1 wakes FanoutThread 5, 6
