👉 Swap computing is a technique used in distributed systems to enhance performance by temporarily transferring data between a computer's main memory (RAM) and an external storage device, known as a swap space. This method is particularly useful for managing large datasets that exceed the capacity of physical RAM, allowing applications to continue running more efficiently. When a system runs out of memory, it swaps out less frequently accessed data to the swap space, freeing up RAM for more active processes. This dynamic allocation of memory resources enables better utilization of available storage, improving overall system performance and responsiveness. Swap computing is commonly employed in servers and high-performance computing environments where large volumes of data need to be processed quickly.
