How does the system detect thrashing?



How does the system detect thrashing?..

Answer / Ankur Rawat

Thrashing is detected by monitoring system performance indicators such as CPU utilization, page fault rate, and memory wait time. If these indicators reach high levels for an extended period of time, it may indicate that the system is thrashing. To determine whether the system is truly thrashing, a threshold value for each indicator can be set, and if the values exceed these thresholds for a certain duration, the system is considered to be in a state of thrashing.
