Partition (mainframe)
A partition is a subset of data processing system hardware resources allocated to an operating system wherein there is no overlap in resources allocated to two partitions. Two partitions may be allocated memory from a common memory chip such that the ranges of physical memory addresses directly accessible to each do not overlap.
