What is Dask Scheduler and how does it work?

Dask Scheduler is a distributed task scheduler that manages the execution of tasks across multiple workers. It allows for parallel computing and can handle large datasets efficiently.

Can you explain how it handles task dependencies?

Dask Scheduler builds a task graph where each node represents a task and edges represent dependencies. It ensures that tasks are executed in the correct order based on these dependencies.

What are the benefits of using Dask Scheduler over other schedulers?

Dask Scheduler is designed for dynamic task scheduling, making it more flexible. It can scale from a single machine to a cluster, and it integrates well with Python data science libraries.

How do I install Dask and set up the scheduler?

You can install Dask using pip: pip install dask. To set up the scheduler, you can start a Dask cluster using dask.distributed and connect your tasks to it.
