What is a Scheduler Program ?

A scheduler is a program that is the implementation of a scheduling algorithm to manage access of processes and threads to limited resource like CPU or an I/O channel.

The goal of most scheduling algorithms is to provide load balancing for the available processes/threads and to guarantee that each process/thread will get a reasonable time frame to access the requested resource exclusively.
