 * @brief Signal nodes allow coordinated waking and sleeping of the runtime
 * without hammering on a single location in memory.
 *
 * The workers are logically arranged in a binary tree and propagate messages
 * leaf-ward.  User workers notify the root about waking and sleeping, so only
 * that one node need share a cache line with a user worker.
