Abstract
A processing system crossbar includes control sub-ports and mini-ports selectively configurable as connection points. Each control sub-port has a domain of mini-ports that the control sub-port is configured to selectively control. Each mini-port is configurable to select a control sub-port from those having domains that include the selecting mini-port. Each connection point includes a corresponding control sub-port and each mini-port selecting the corresponding control sub-port. The crossbar provides bandwidth tailored for various system agents. Thus crossbar bottlenecks are eliminated or reduced.
