text: |
A scheduler or scheduling algorithm allocates processors to a subset of
its set of ready tasks. So it manages access to the processor resource.
Various algorithms exist to choose the tasks allowed to use a processor
out of the set of ready tasks. One method is to assign each task a
priority number and assign the tasks with the lowest priority number to
one processor of the set of processors owned by a scheduler instance.
