Distributed power up for a memory system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code comprising instructions which, when executed by processing circuitry of a memory system, cause the memory system to:

• receive, from a host system, a command to initialize a set of memory devices included in the memory system;
• select, based at least in part on the command, a first memory device from the set of memory devices using an output of a random number generator;
• read, from a second memory device in a controller separate from the set of memory devices, a first operational parameter corresponding to the first memory device;
• perform a first initialization corresponding to the command on a first subset of the set of memory devices according to the first operational parameter, the first subset of the set of memory devices comprising the first memory device;
• read, from the first memory device, a set of second operational parameters, each second operational parameter of the set of second operational parameters corresponding to a respective memory device of a second subset of the set of memory devices different than the first subset of the set of memory devices;
• perform, after performing the first initialization and reading the set of second operational parameters, a second initialization corresponding to the command on the second subset of the set of memory devices according to the set of second operational parameters;
• and
• select, based at least in part on a second command to initialize the set of memory devices, a third memory device from the set of memory devices using a second output of the random number generator.
