Footprint (Computer Hardware)

The footprint of a device refers to how much space it will take up if placed on a desk top or floor.

Footprint (Computer Technology)

This refers to the general size of something, whether physical or virtual. For example, the footprint of an application or operating system can be either large or small - meaning the required system resources (memory, diskspace, etc.) is either large or small.

Footprint (Construction)

The outline of a home's foundation; this means the home's outermost points and is used for site planning.

Footprint (E-Learning)

1) The regions to which a communications satellite can transmit. 2) The floor or desk surface space occupied by a piece of computer equipment.

Footprint (Exercise)

Amount of floor space a piece of exercise equipment takes up.

Footprint (Green Energy)

The area occupied by the parts of the building which come into contact with the ground.

Footprint (Import Cars)

1. The portion of the contact area of a loaded tire with the ground. 2. The bolt pattern of a device.

Footprint (Plumbing)

The area of floor space taken up by a water heater or other appliance.

Footprint (Storage Media)

The amount of floor space that a piece of equipment (e.g., a desktop/tower enclosure) occupies.

Footprint (Technology)

The surface area occupied by a personal computer or other device.

Footprint (Television)

(1) Roughly speaking, the physical size and shape of the portion of an object or building, nearest the floor or shelf or ground it is resting on. For a TV set on legs, the footprint would be the shape described by a string that encircled all of the legs. For a VCR with rubber feet but no legs, the footprint would be the shape of the entire body. (2) In an abstract sense, the irreversible consequences of a format or set of rules. For example, the 720 (or 704 depending on subject matter) pixel wide by 480 pixel high "grid" representing the DVD picture is a footprint, which in this context forever constrains the picture data to occupy discrete pixel positions implied by that grid and not occupy the spaces in between. Composite video is also a footprint whose manifestation in a video image is smeared color boundaries and rainbow effects amidst fine details, among other things. Color resolution is highly limited and it is almost impossible to get rid of all of the contamination from each other when the luminance and color information are finally and mandatorily separated for display of the picture.

Footprint (Treadmill)

The footprint refers to the amount of floor space a machine takes up.
