swap
vt.
1. [techspeak] To move information from a fast-access memory to a
slow-access memory (swap out), or vice versa (swap in). Often refers
specifically to the use of disks as virtual memory. As pieces of data or
program are needed, they are swapped into core for processing; when they
are no longer needed they may be swapped out again.
2. The jargon use of these terms analogizes people's short-term memories
with core. Cramming for an exam might be spoken of as swapping in. If you
temporarily forget someone's name, but then remember it, your excuse is
that it was swapped out. To keep something swapped in means to keep it
fresh in your memory: ?I reread the TECO manual every few months to keep it
swapped in.? If someone interrupts you just as you got a good idea, you
might say ?Wait a moment while I swap this out?, implying that a piece of
paper is your extra-somatic memory and that if you don't swap the idea out
by writing it down it will get overwritten and lost as you talk. Compare
page in, page out.

swap
swapped in
swapped out
swapping
To move a program from fast-access memory
to a slow-access memory ("swap out"), or vice versa ("swap
in"). The term often refers specifically to the use of a
hard disk (or a swap file) as virtual memory or "swap
space".
When a program is to be executed, possibly as determined by a
scheduler, it is swapped into core for processing; when it
can no longer continue executing for some reason, or the
scheduler decides its time slice has expired, it is swapped
out again.
This contrasts with "paging" systems in which only parts of a
program's memory is transfered.
