System and Method for High Configurability High-Speed Interconnect

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a baseboard management controller of an information handling system, a setup of first and second devices connected to the information handling system;
• providing, by the baseboard management controller, a connectivity indication signal to a connectivity switch of the information handling system, wherein the connectivity indication signal is based on the setup of the first and second devices;
• and
• operating the connectivity switch in one of a plurality of configurations based on the connectivity signal, the plurality of configuration includes a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration, wherein each of the configurations provides different connectivity between the first device, the second device, a first processor of the information handling system, and a second processor of the information handling system, wherein each of the configurations provides a different link width for communication among the first device, the second device, the first processor, and the second processor, wherein the different link width and the different connectivity for each of the configurations are stored prior to the configuration being identified based on the first and second devices.

An information handling system, comprising:

• first and second processors;
• first and second devices configured to communicate with first and second processors;
• a connectivity switch connected between the first and second devices and the first and second processors, the connectivity switch configured to operate in one of a plurality of configurations, the plurality of configuration includes a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration, wherein each of the configurations provides different connectivity between the first device, the second device, the first processor, and the second processor, wherein each of the configurations provides a different link width for communication among the first device, the second device, the first processor, and the second processor, wherein the different link width and the different connectivity for each of the configurations are stored prior to the configuration being identified based on the first and second devices;
• a controller to determine a setup of the first and second devices, and to store the setup in a configuration map within a computer memory;
• and
• a baseboard management controller to communicate with the connectivity switch, the baseboard management controller to:
• access the setup of the first and second devices from the computer memory;
• and
• provide a connectivity indication signal to the connectivity switch based on the setup of the first and second devices, wherein the connectivity indication signal identifies one of the configurations for the connectivity switch.
