What is swapping?
Swapping is moving data between physical memory(RAM) and secondary memory. In
computing, virtual memory is a management technique that combines a computer’s hard disk space
with its random access memory (RAM) to create a larger virtual address space. This can be useful if
you have too many processes running on your system and not enough physical memory to store
them.
While performing swapping the operating system needs to allocate a block of memory. It finds the
first vacant block of physical memory.
As each new block of memory is allocated, it replaces the oldest block in physical memory. When a
program attempts to access a page that has been swapped out, the operating system copies the page
from the disk into physical memory and updates the page table entry.
The purpose of operating system swapping is to increase the degree of multiprogramming and
increase main memory usage.
Swap-in: A swap-in process in which a process moves from secondary storage / hard disk to main
memory (RAM).
Swap out: Swap out takes a process out of the main memory and places it in secondary memory.
Advantages of Swapping
Swapping can help to make more room and allow your programs to run more smoothly.
Additionally, swap files can also be helpful in cases where you have multiple programs open at the
same time.
Using a swap file, you can ensure that each program has its own dedicated chunk of memory,
which can help improve overall performance.
Improve the degree of multi-programming.
Better RAM utilization.
Disadvantages of Swapping
If the computer system is turned off during high paging activity, the user may lose all information
related to the program.
The number of page faults increases, which can reduce overall processing performance.
When you make a lot of transactions, users lose information and computers lose power.
