Summary

SWaP-C, Size, Weight and Power and Cost is the mantra for rugged, military and avionic applications. Thermal management affects all of these. Thermal design is becoming more important as things like artificial intelligence and machine learning push the performance envelope. 

The challenge of cooling high performance CPUs, FPGAs and GPUs in electronic systems deployed in harsh military environments is met with a range of thermal management techniques. Figuring out which approach gives the best SWaP-C solution can be a challenge.

This presentation will provide an introduction and overview of cooling options available to system designers, including conduction, air-flow-through and liquid-flow-through technologies.
