Priority Based Scheduler

Definition

A priority based scheduler is an algorithm or system component that allocates computational resources or processing order based on predefined importance levels. This mechanism ensures that high-priority tasks, such as critical network operations or time-sensitive transactions, are processed ahead of lower-priority ones. In blockchain networks, it can be employed to manage transaction ordering and block inclusion, optimizing for urgency or specific network goals. It enhances system responsiveness.
