Heat dissipation measure determination method and information processing device

An information processing device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, and the processor configured to:
• obtain a heat generation amount of a component via an interface;
• calculate a unit heat-generation amount using the heat-generation amount of a component, and a unit size that is one of a volume of the component and a surface area of the component, the unit heat-generation amount being the heat-generation amount per the unit size;
• determine whether the unit heat-generation amount is greater than a threshold value;
• and
• cause an output device to output a signal for indicating that consideration of heat dissipation measures is desired for the component for which the unit heat-generation amount is determined to be greater than the threshold value.
