Divisionsized
Divisionsized is a term used in data partitioning and parallel computing to describe a strategy where a total workload or data set is divided into subparts of approximately equal size according to a specified division parameter. The division size, s, defines the target size for each partition, while the number of partitions p is computed as p = ceil(T / s), with T representing the total size.
Under divisionsized partitioning, the resulting partitions have sizes either s or smaller for the final partition;
Applications of divisionsized partitioning include distributed computing frameworks, database sharding, and image tiling, where workload balance
Example: if T = 1000 units and s = 128, then p = ceil(1000 / 128) = 8, yielding partition sizes
Related concepts include partitioning, chunking, block size, data sharding, and load balancing. The term divisionsized is
