Your swap size depends upon the applications you are gonna use. I agree with Ankit and would suggest that 8-10 GB swap is enough and keep monitoring it. As i know modern kernels comes with a parameter *swappiness* and it's parameters varies from 1 to 100. Higher values lead to more pages being swapped, and lower values lead to more applications being kept in memory, even if they are idle. By default it's set to 60(not sure) so you can change it also to see if it fits you. > > 2. tempfs consumes half of RAM i.e. 24GB in my case as I have 48 GB of > physical RAM installed.
