What happens when the computer is thrashing? quizzlet?

When computers need to use more memory than have RAM, they'll swap out pages of memory to their drive. When they need those memory pages, they'll swap out others and swap in the needed ones. If a computer needs enough additionall memory, it can get so busy swapping that it doesn't have any (or very little) time to do any useful work. That is called thrashing.

Unix calls swapping swapping. Windows calls it paging, probably because of the memory pages. Memory pages are 4096 (4KB) sections of memory.

Unix drives are usually partitioned with a swap partition, and swap files can be made in the filesystem. Windows just has pagefiles[s].

Each mile is 1.60934 kilometer,so 10 miles are 1.60934x10=16.0934 kilometers;

One main difference is that a graphing calculator can graph out functions while a scientific calculator cannot. there are some scientific calculations that have built-in table functions, but generally (and obviously) scientific calculators are not built to be able to graph. graphing calculators have larger screens to accommodate for their eponymous use.furthermore, graphing calculators are usually more advanced. because of the specifications needed (like ram, processor) to be able to generate graphics, graphing calculators are able to support more sophisticated functions/features. some graphing calculators have a computer-algebra system, like the ti-89 titanium. some support spreadsheets. some even support programmable games. some allow for connectivity with a computer to install new programs.we have to consider another major difference: the price. graphing calculations are way more expensive than scientific calculators. i believe this has to do with the history behind graphing calculators. for example, texas instruments basically holds a monolopy over graphing calculators. school keep using tis because that is what they are familiar with.
