swap space

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.
(operating system)swap space - An area of disk (e.g. a swap file) used to store the state of a process that has been swapped out. Under a virtual memory system, it is the amount of swap space rather than the amount of physical memory which determines the maximum size of a single process and the maximum total size of all active processes.
