Claim:
1. A microprocessor comprising: a crossbar switch coupling a set of master ports to a set of slave ports according to a first data path configuration setting, the first data path configuration parking a first slave port on a first master port to provide a first data path setting between the first slave port and the first master port; and a data path configuration component for configuring at least one data path setting within the crossbar switch, the data path configuration component configured to receive an indication of an operating mode of the microprocessor and, in response to the received indication of the operating mode of the microprocessor, dynamically connecting the set of master ports to the set of slave ports according to a second data path configuration setting wherein the first slave port is parked on a second master port distinct from the first master port to provide a second data path setting for the first slave port distinct from the first data path setting.
