The old answer didn't answer the question at all, so I deleted it.
What you are most likely referring to is the tetrarchy (from Greek, meaning "rule of four") instituted by Diocletian in 293CE. It didn't last very long (by 313CE there were only two "emperors" left), so perhaps that is why not many people know or talk about it.

Who split the roman empire into two parts in ad 330?
Constantine split the Roman Empire into the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. It should be noted however that the emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD ) made this easier as he was the first to divide the empire into two parts, a western and eastern empire to be ruled separately. The emperors who followed Constantine, Julian and Theodosius I, made permanent the division of the Roman Empire into an eastern and western half.

What emperor decided to split the empire into an eastern and western half?
It is sometimes said that the emperor Diocletian split the Roman Empire into an eastern and a western half. This is wrong. The empire was never split. The terms Eastern Western Empire and Western Roman Empire have been coined by historians. The Romans did not use them. They only had one term: Roman Empire. Moreover, Diocletian created four main administrative subdivisions (not two) when he created what historians have called the tetrarchy (rule by four). These were the four praetorian prefectures. In 285 Diocletian appointed the fellow general Maximian as co-emperor. Maximian took overall control of the western part of the Roman Empire, while Diocletian took overall control of the eastern part. Then these two men became senior emperors (Augusti) with the creation of two junior emperors (Caesars) who were subordinates of the Augusti in 293. The empire was subdivided into four praetorian provinces, each headed by one of the tetrarchs. The two Caesars were Galerius and Constantius Chorus. Maximian took charge of Italia et Africa (Italy and north-western Africa) and Constantius took charge of Galliae (Gaul, Britannia and Hispania). Both were in the western part of the empire. Diocletian took charge of Oriens (Thracia, the territories in Asia and Egypt) and Galerius took charge of Illyricum (the Balkan Peninsula except for Thracia, in the southeast, next to modern Turkey). Both were in the eastern part of the empire. Diocletian also created four imperial capitals (or better imperial seats), one for each emperor. Diocletian stressed that the four praetorian prefectures were administrative units and that the empire was indivisible.
