Thrashing occurs when a system's CPU utilization is high because it spends more time managing processes and less time executing them. This happens when there are too many processes in the ready queue, causing excessive context switching. The operating system can detect thrashing by monitoring parameters such as CPU usage, memory usage, and process waiting times. To eliminate thrashing, the system can perform techniques like dynamic memory allocation, prioritizing processes, or reducing the number of running processes.
