In [[computer programming]], the '''scheduler pattern''' is a [[software design pattern]]. It is a [[Concurrency (computer science)|concurrency]] pattern used to explicitly control when [[thread (software engineering)|thread]]s may [[execution (computers)|execute]] single-threaded [[source code|code]].

The scheduler pattern uses an object that explicitly sequences waiting threads. It provides a mechanism to implement a [[scheduling policy]], but is independent of any specific scheduling policy — the policy is encapsulated in its own class and is reusable.
