What is the term that defines excessive swapping of files between RAM and virtual memory?
multitasking this answer is wrong. right answer is thrashing.
What do you mean by thrashing?
With regards to computers, thrashing refers to a computer's virtual memory being in the constant state of paging. Thrashing will cause the computer to perform poorly.
How do you use the word thrashing in a sentence?
Thrashing with regards to computers refers to virtual memory being in constant use. An example of thrashing in a sentence would be: To resolve thrashing issues, additional RAM should be installed.
What is ''thrashing machine''?
A computer that is said to be thrashing is constantly paging information to virtual memory. A thrashing machine, currently known as a threshing machine, is used to remove grain from stalks and husks.
When virtual memory is in use excessive paging is referred to as?
FALSE
Is the condition of excessive paging referred to as thrashing when virtual memory is in use?
Nope, swapping and paging are essentially synonymous. Excessive paging is known as thrashing.
Is page swapping the same as thrashing?
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.
What happens when the computer is thrashing?
Thrashing occurs when a computer's virtual memory subsystem is in a constant state of paging, rapidly exchanging data in memory for data on disk, to the exclusion of most application-level processing. This causes performance of the computer to degrade and collapse.
When virtual memory is in use the condition of excessive paging is called swapping Answer True False?
False. It is called Thrashing.
When windows spends most of its time managing virtual memory by paging instead of executing application software it is said to be?
thrashing
What are two ways to eliminate thrashing?
1. Add more memory and 2. Have less tasks open at one time
What is defined as the condition that occurs when your system is running out of virtual memory?
When a PC runs low on virtual memory, system activity causes what is called "thrashing", when memory is repeatedly paged out to, and read back from, the hard drive.
