👉 Partitional is a term used in computer science to describe a network or system that has multiple levels of hierarchical structure, with each level having its own set of resources and functionality. This can be seen as a layering model where each level represents a different aspect of the system's functionality, such as processing power, storage capacity, or communication channels. Partitional systems are often used in distributed computing environments to allow for efficient resource allocation and coordination between multiple components within an overall system.
