spin-up
Getting things started
Spin-up is the process of starting or accelerating something until it reaches operational speed or readiness.
A hard drive spins up when powered on; a new server instance spins up in the cloud.
The term extends to any preparation phase: The project requires a two-week spin-up period.
In physics, spin-up describes a particle's quantum spin state oriented in a particular direction.
