Page Swapping is not the same as Thrashing. Thrashing is the significant degradation of performance caused by overuse of a computers resource, most commonly virtual memory. Page Swapping is a normal memory management function of most Operating Systems. It occurs any time a computer is running. Thrashing most often takes the form of too much Page Swapping. That occurs when a program needs more virtual memory than the computer can provide at the moment and pages of memory are moved on and off the disc so often that the program running cannot progress in its function. Thrashing is, therefore, not equivalent to Page Swapping and vice versa.

Discuss the effect of heavily multiprogramming on demand page swapping?
Mutiprogramming helps increase the CPU utilization to some extent, but if the degree of Multiprogramming is increased above a certain limit (i.e Heavy Multiprogramming) it can lead to Thrashing and thus decrease the CPU utilization drastically.Heavy Multiprogramming may lead to Thrashing, a condition where a system is spending more time Page Faulting (i.e swapping pages in and out of memory) rather than executing them, this leads to deterioration of system performance.
What is thrashing with reference to Operating System?
It is a phenomenon in virtual memory schemes when the processor spends most of its time swapping pages, rather than executing instructions. This is due to an inordinate number of page faults.
When virtual memory is in use the condition of excessive paging is called swapping Answer True False?
False. It is called Thrashing.
