Method of temperature conditioning compute module for cold start

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute a method comprising:

• receiving, at one or more integrated circuits, a set of program instructions, wherein the one or more integrated circuits are thermally coupled to a main computer via a liquid-cooled plate;
• running the set of program instructions on at least one integrated circuit of the one or more integrated circuits, wherein the one or more integrated circuits generate heat when running the set of program instructions, and wherein the generated heat flows into the liquid-cooled plate and to the main computer via the liquid-cooled plate;
• detecting, from at least one thermal sensor coupled to the liquid-cooled plate, a temperature reading indicative of a temperature of the main computer;
• determining that the temperature reading has reached a predetermined temperature threshold;
• and
• based on the temperature reading reaching the predetermined temperature threshold, powering on the main computer.

A computing system comprising:

• a main computer, wherein the main computer comprises a liquid-cooled plate;
• a plurality of integrated circuits thermally coupled to the main computer via the liquid-cooled plate;
