UNIT 6 ARM-The Architecture for the Digital World? New words and Technical Terms peripheral port platform middleware code dual-processor bandwidth system-on-chip (SoC) operating system (OS) intellectual property (IP) reduced instruction set computing (RISC) PLC (abbr. Public Limited Company) LSE (abbr. London Stock Exchange) Nasdaq (abbr. National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System) Text ARM Holdings PLC [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], ranked by Dataquest as the number one semiconductor IP supplier in the world, emerged as a pre-eminent force in the semiconductor revolution [1]. [1].被Dataquest排列为全世界第一的半导体IP核提供商的ARM上市公司在半导体革命中显示出了一种卓越的力量。 ranked by Dataquest as the number one semiconductor IP supplier in the world是主语ARM Holdings plc的定语，对主语进行说明和描述。 When ARM pioneered the concept of openly-licensable IP for the development of 32-bit RISC microprocessor-based SoCs in the early 1990s, it changed the dynamics of the semiconductor industry forever. By licensing, rather than manufacturing and selling its chip technology, the Company established a new business model that has redefined the way microprocessors are designed, produced and sold [2]. [2].通过许可，而不是制造和出售它的芯片技术，公司重新定义了微处理器设计、生产与销售的方式，从而建立了一种新的商业模型。 By licensing, rather than manufacturing and selling its chip technology是状语，可译为“通过许可，而不是制造和出售它的芯片技术”。 More importantly, ARM has shaped a new era of next-generation electronics: ARM Powered? microprocessors are pervasive in the electronic products we use, driving key functions in a variety of applications in diverse markets, including automotive, consumer entertainment, imaging, industrial control, networking, storage, security and wireless. ARM licenses its IP to a network of Partners, which includes some of the world’s leading semiconductor and system companies, including nineteen out of the top-twenty semiconduct
