multiwindow
Simultaneous pane display
Multiwindow describes the capability to display multiple application windows simultaneously on a screen.
The term appears most often in mobile computing, where operating systems traditionally showed only one app at a time: The tablet's multiwindow mode lets you run two apps side by side.
On desktop computers, multiwindow operation has been standard since the 1980s.
