1. A cryptocurrency miner, comprising:
one or more power supplies;
a first integrated circuit electrically coupled to the one or more power supplies, wherein the first integrated circuit comprises one or more first compute engines and first control circuitry configured to control operation of the one or more first compute engines; and
a controller configured to:
generate one or more first control signals that cause the one or more power supplies to power the first control circuitry of the first integrated circuit and to not power the one or more first compute engines of the first integrated circuit during an initialization process of the first control circuitry;
detect that the initialization process of the first control circuitry has completed; and
generate one or more second control signals that cause the one or more power supplies to power the first control circuitry and the one or more first compute engines of the first integrated circuit after detecting that the initialization process of the first control circuitry has completed.
