Answer / kavikish
Swapping: Whole process is moved from the swap device to the
main memory for execution. Process size must be less than or
equal to the size of the available main memory.
Paging: Only the required memory pages are moved to main
memory from the swap device for execution. Process size does
not matter. Gives the concept of virtual memory. Allows more
number of processes to fit in the main memory simultaneously.
