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.
