Abstract
Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, and methods are described for composing on-chip interconnects with configurable interfaces. A configurable interface includes a configurable agent and interface port. The configurable agent has a first input and a first output with the first input receiving a first communication. An input of a core receives the configurable agent's first output. The agent is configured for important inter-network characteristics such as topology, flooding control, clocking/reset, and performance enhancement.
