Chiplets and Advanced Packaging in Practice: Floorplanning, UCIe, and Thermal Co-Design

A floorplan for a multi-die package is a set of decisions made about dies you did not design. UCIe settles the electrical socket between them; floorplanning, thermal-mechanical co-design, and known-good-die testing still have to settle everything else.
