Memory: VHAND Processes
paging - a technique which takes the pages (virtual memory address) from memory and moves them to virtual memory (on disk). This is called by the VHAND process.
page fault - and invalid address. This occurs when the CPU requests a page from memory and it does not find the page.
Deactivation - moving a process from the swap space on disk to main memory and from main memory to disk. This is done by the swapdaemon.
thrashing - when a process spends more time paging than processing. A high number of page faults.
