Mohammad Faisal Zakarneh When ur physical memory isn't enough to accommodate the information, it swaps space to and from the disk .. the space in the disk called swap memory
Suneel Kumar Kottapalli
A swap space is a certain amount of space used by Linux to temporarily hold some programs that are running concurrently. This happens when RAM does not have enough memory to hold all programs that are executing.
Parvath Reddy Swap space in Linux is used when the amount of physical memory (RAM) is full. If the system needs more memory resources and the RAM is full, inactive pages in memory are moved to the swap space. While swap space can help machines with a small amount of RAM, it should not be considered a replacement for more RAM.
