A name for data distribution scheme

I am looking for a concise name of data distribution scheme. Let's say we have 3 computers (A, B, C) and each of them can handle at most 2 units of data (we'll name the data units by d1, d2, d3, d4...).

Now, if we assume we have 5 units of data, and distribute them as follows: d1, d4 -> A, d2, d5 -> B, d3 -> C we would have been talking about round robin distribution.

What is the name of distribution that assumes that we use the smallest number of computers possible. For example, for 2 data units we would have: d1, d2 -> A and nothing for others, while for 5 it would be: d1, d2 -> A, d3, d4 -> B, d5 -> C. Is it called FIFO?

Greedy distribution? You allocate as much as you can on each computer and move forward.
