Thrashing in the context of virtual memory is a situation where the operating system spends more time swapping pages between the main memory and the secondary storage than executing actual processes. It occurs when the system is overloaded with processes that require more memory than what is physically available, leading to excessive page faults. Each time a process accesses a page not currently in memory, a page fault occurs, forcing the operating system to bring the required page from disk into RAM. _________ ____ __________ __________ _____ ______ ___ _______ _____.
