How will swapping lead to better memory management? |
|
Answer» Swapping is a process/memory management TECHNIQUE used by the operating system(os) for increasing the processor utilization by moving a few blocked processes from the MAIN memory into the secondary memory. This will lead to a QUEUE formation that has temporarily suspended processes and the execution will be continued with the processes that are NEWLY arrived. At the regular intervals fixed by the operating system, processes can be moved from the main memory to secondary storage, and then later they can be moved back. Swapping will ALLOW multiple processes to run, that can fit into memory at a single time. Thus, we can say that swapping will lead to better memory management. |
