Abstract
In all circuit networks, there is a need to balance the amount of heat generated by each circuit component with the power density. Managing the heat generated by electronic elements have always been one of the greatest tasks in any electronic design. Many thermal management techniques of microprocessor have been proposed and implemented for different systems. It was observed that the issue of microprocessor thermal-management needs to be addressed from the basis, that is, the application of the floor planning technique. Also, there is the need to balance the performance measure with the thermal technique in such a way that one needs not to be compromised for another. This paper identifies some of the thermal management techniques proposed by different authors, the gaps and the likely prospects.
