What is thrashing in OS? |
|
Answer» It is generally a situation where the CPU performs less productive work and more swapping or PAGING work. It spends more time swapping or paging activities rather than its execution. By evaluating the level of CPU utilization, a system can detect THRASHING. It OCCURS when the process does not have enough PAGES due to which the page-fault rate is increased. It inhibits MUCH application-level processing that causes computer performance to degrade or collapse. |
