Separation by the creation of a boundary that divides or keeps apart.
The tendency of a chemical to be divided or "partitioned" between the solid phase and the liquid phase of the sediment. The coefficient that quantifies the extent of this porcess is called the partition coefficient (often designated by p or
Partitioning is the presentation of the useable storage capacity of a disk or array to an operating environment in the form of several virtual disks whose aggregate capacity approximates that of the underlying disk or array. Partitioning is useful with hosts, which cannot support the full capacity of a large disk or array as one device. It can also be used administratively, for example, to create administrative boundaries within large quanta of data.
The purpose of partitioning is to create a logical file structure for the operating system to access and to divide a portion of the disk drive to be used by more than one disk operating system. Large disk drives can be divided into areas for the file allocation table (FAT) to access when in use.
The ability to divide a table into pieces (partitions). The division can be horizontal (by data value – for example by date) or vertical (by columns – for example, most used columns in one partition, the least used columns in another partition.).
To divide memory or mass storage into isolated sections.
A method for creating a logical file structure that the operating system can access. Partitioning devides an area on the disc drive for use by more than one disc operating system, or for dividing large disc drives into areas which the file allocation table (FAT) can deal with when in use.
Parceling a spectrum license into two or more geographic areas.
In geographically licensed services, this is the acquisition of a portion of a licensee's geographic service area by another entity. (See Assignment and Disaggregation.)
In a perspective, the action which may be applied to queries which automatically divides the query results into multiple tracks, based on the model from which the result originates or on the value of some other variable in the query.
In FPGAs, the process of dividing the logic into subfunctions that can later be placed into individual CLBs. Partitioning precedes placement.
