a process is thrashing if its take more time than paging than executing
The problem of many page faults occurring in a short time, called "page thrashing".
a state in which processor is spending most of its time in swapping pages and doing less productive work is called thrashing. +++ One symptom is unusually high hard-disc activity, the term "thrashing" referring to all the frantic clicking and clonking and whirring.

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.

I dont want my computer to go through thrashing.
You don't have enough RAM.Thrashing is the Operating Systems way of allowing programs larger than can fit in RAM function. It does this by temporarily swapping portions of programs, or entire programs in and out of RAM.Since programs can only run from RAM, when an OS switches between programs, and there isn't enough RAM, it has to grab programs from memory and put them into ROM. And the program needing to run in ROM has to be loaded in RAM.Another solution is to have a RAM Disk (hard to find and expensive, currently DDR2 only...as of 2012) or Solid State Hard Drive. Thrashing still occurs. But thrashing becomes fast enough that it is not very noticeable. It does cause wear on the Solid State Hard Drive.
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.
We illustrate a classic software-based solution to the critical section to the critical solution problem known as peterson's solution.
