ABSTRACT:
The invention generally relates to a method, apparatus, and system to change one or more communication pathways in a processor without changing a physical component layout in the processor. For example, in an embodiment, the invention generally relates to a routing agent to change one or more communication pathways in a processor without changing the physical component layout in the processor. In an embodiment, the invention generally relates to the following method. The method comprises sending a control signal to one or more components within a processor to change one or more communication pathways in the processor without changing the physical component layout in the processor. In an embodiment, the invention generally relates to a method of changing the bandwidth between a processor and a device exterior to the processor without changing the physical component layout in the processor.
