METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COORDINATION OF OPERATING STATES AMONGST MULTIPLE SOCs WITHIN A COMPUTING DEVICE

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. 各个方面提供了用于在计算设备内协调多个SOC的操作状态的方法、系统和设备。这种协调可以通过各SOC的表示彼此之间即将发生的交互的提前通知的信息传达来实现。所传达的信息可由接收方SOC用于在与另SOC的潜在即将发生的交互之前设置其操作状态。因此，该技术改进使个体SOC能够先占地影响其它SOC的操作状态。例如，在功率管理的上下文中，各个方面可协
