Differentiate between Swapping and Paging.

Answer»

The key differences between Swapping and Paging are as follows:

SWAPPING	PAGING
When the entire process is SHIFTED to secondary MEMORY, it is REFERRED to as swapping.	Paging takes place in the event of some part of a process being transferred to secondary memory.
Swapping involves the temporary transfer of a process from the main memory to secondary memory.	In Paging, the contiguous block of memory is made non-contiguous but of fixed SIZE called frame or pages.
No memory management is required for swapping.	Paging REQUIRES non-contiguous Memory Management.
Swapping provides the direction regarding the solution in it.	Paging does not give any direction regarding the solution in it.
