Socket-dependent electronic module assembly design and fabrication

Abstract

A module-socket-dependent assembly design process is provided which includes obtaining, by an assembly design engine, socket-dependent substitution rules indicating where a different electronic module type can be used for another electronic module type at a particular socket in an electronic module assembly configuration absent violating a power constraint of a respective electronic assembly design. The assembly design includes multiple electronic module sockets to accommodate multiple electronic modules of the electronic module assembly configuration. The process further includes automatically generating an updated electronic module assembly configuration using at least one substitution rule of the socket-dependent substitution rules, where the other electronic module type of the electronic module assembly configuration is replaced at the particular socket of the multiple sockets with the different electronic module type. Further, the process includes initiating fabricating of an electronic assembly using the updated electronic module assembly configuration of the electronic assembly design.
