When does thrashing occur?



When does thrashing occur?..

Answer / Siddhartha Mishra

Thrashing occurs in a computer system when excessive context-switching between tasks or processes results in the CPU spending more time switching between them than actually executing instructions. This reduces overall system performance and efficiency, as the CPU and memory resources are overutilized without making significant progress on any given task. Thrashing can happen due to insufficient resources for the number of tasks, poor scheduling algorithms, or excessive task creation.
