Techniques to support multiple interconnect protocols for a common set of interconnect connectors

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of instructions, that when executed, enable processing circuitry to:

• determine a configuration for a plurality of connectors, the configuration to associate a first interconnect protocol with a first subset of the plurality of connectors and a second interconnect protocol with a second subset of the plurality of connectors, the first interconnect protocol and the second interconnect protocol are different interconnect protocols and each comprising one of a serial link protocol, a coherent link protocol, and an accelerator link protocol;
• cause processing of data for communication via the first subset of the plurality of connectors in accordance with the first interconnect protocol;
• and
• cause processing of data for communication via the second subset of the plurality of connector in accordance with the second interconnect protocol.
