1. A method, comprising:
transitioning, by a memory system during a first duration, from a first power mode to a second power mode, wherein the memory system comprises at least a first processing element and a second processing element;
analyzing, based at least in part on transitioning from the first power mode to the second power mode and during a second duration, a command received;
initializing, during the second duration, the first processing element, wherein the first processing element is fully initialized at least partially concurrent with analyzing the command;
determining a type of the command based at least in part on analyzing the command;
determining whether to begin initialization of the second processing element after initializing the first processing element based at least in part on determining the type of the command; and
processing the command based at least in part on determining the type of the command, initializing the first processing element, and determining to begin the initialization of the second processing element after initializing the first processing element.
