partitioning
Partitioning generally refers to the act or process of dividing or separating something into parts, segments, or sections. In computing, it often refers to the division of a hard drive into separate sections to manage files systematically or to run multiple operating systems on one device. In mathematics, partitioning refers to dividing a set into non-overlapping, distinct subsets. Thus, it essentially embodies the concept of dividing or breaking down a larger whole into smaller, manageable pieces.
