Abstract: The various aspects provide methods, systems, and devices for coordinating the operating states of multiple SOCs within a computing device. Such coordination may be implemented through communication of information by the SOCs that represent advance notice of impending interactions between each other. The communicated information may be used by a recipient SOC for setting its operating state in advance of the potential impending interaction with another SOC. Accordingly, this technical improvement enables individual SOCs to preemptively influence the operating states of the other SOCs. For example, in the context of power management, the various aspects may coordinate the power states of multiple SOCs, thereby effectively implementing a monolithic power management state machine that improves overall power consumption of the computing device.

Abstract translation: 各个方面提供用于协调计算设备内的多个SOC的操作状态的方法，系统和设备。 这种协调可以通过代表提前通知彼此之间即将发生的交互的SOC来实现。 所传送的信息可以由接收者SOC用于在与另一SOC的潜在即将发生的交互之前设置其操作状态。 因此，该技术改进使各个SOC能够抢先地影响其它SOC的工作状态。 例如，在电源管理的上下文中，各个方面可以协调多个SOC的功率状态，从而有效地实现提高计算设备的总体功耗的单片电源管理状态机。
