Synchronizing system resources of a multi-slot data processing system may include providing a trigger event from a master system-on-chip (SOC) to a global synchronization circuit. The main SOC is one of a plurality of SOCs, and the trigger event is provided over a first sideband channel. In response to the trigger event, the global synchronization circuit can broadcast a synchronization event to the plurality of SOCs over a second sideband channel. In response to the synchronization event, the system resource of each SOC of the plurality of SOCs is programmed with a common value. The programming synchronizes the system resources of the plurality of SOCs. 同步多插槽数据处理系统的系统资源可包括从主片上系统(SOC)向全局同步电路提供触发事件。该主SOC是多个SOC中的一者，并且该触发事件通过第一边带信道来提供。响应于该触发事件，该全局同步电路能够通过第二边带信道向该多个SOC广播同步事件。响应于该同步事件，用公共值对该多个SOC中的每个SOC的该系统资源进行编程。该编程使该多个SOC的该系统资源同步。
