The judge can do it "sua sponte" (on his or her own) for a variety of reasons, or one or more of the litigants can "move" or ask to do so. Also, once a judicial proceeding is ended, the formal ending is "adjournment" that the judge announces.
The reasons for adjournment before a trial is completely concluded are varied: need for a reasonable break in the proceedings, introduction of new evidence or witness that is a "surprise" to the opposing side requiring the time to review, some other emergency not related to the proceedings, etc.
