Memory Virtualization
Operating System
disk storage
Space used on the disk for virtual
memory is called swap space/swap
file or page file
Inactive memory pages are moved
from physical memory to the swap
file
Provides efficient use of available
physical memory
Data access from swap file is slower
use of flash drives for swap space
gives best performance
