Kunpeng Software Ecosystem and Cloud Services
ARM Authorization Mechanism
In the traditional PC field, the business types of semiconductor manufacturers are mainly divided into two types:
一种是像Intel一样，垂直的集成芯片设计和制造公司。
还有一种就是像NVIDIA、AMD，一样的公司自己只设计芯片 称为 无晶圆厂（Fabless）模式，物理制造则交给代工厂，如台积电、三星电子、UMC联电、GlobalFoundries等。无晶圆厂的半成品方式可以极大的降低成本，但设计最终还是由代工厂决定。
In the mobile field,
The cost of the main application processor can easily be less than 10% of the total cost of the device, and ARM has thus formed a different type of business: it does not sell chips directly to the market, but uses the IP (instruction set architecture) designed by ARM , microprocessor, graphics core, interconnect architecture), will be licensed to any customer who wants to use him, and then ARM will decide whether to manufacture and sell chips.
ARM公司提供三种不一样的许可证类型，分别为：POP（Progressor Optimization Park,处理器优化包/物理IP包）授权、处理器授权、架构指令集授权。他们的授权等级依次增高，但正是这种授权方式降低了研发成本以及研发风险，形成一种风险共担、利益共享的模式
ARM's authorization mechanism includes three authorization methods: processor authorization, POP authorization and architecture authorization.
Processor authorization refers to authorizing the cooperative manufacturer to use the processor designed by ARM. The other party cannot change the original design, but can adjust the frequency and power consumption of the product according to their own needs.
POP authorization means that ARM sells optimized processors to authorized cooperative manufacturers, so that they can design and produce processors with guaranteed performance under specific processes.
Architecture authorization means that ARM will authorize cooperative manufacturers to use their own architecture, so that they can design processors according to their own needs.
POP (Processor Optimization Pack) authorization is a service of ARM, which allows authorized cooperative manufacturers to use ARM-optimized processor designs in order to design and produce processors with guaranteed performance under specific processes. POP authorization is actually a complete set of processor design and optimization toolkit, including ARM processor core, memory compiler, system compiler and debugging tools. Through POP authorization, authorized cooperative manufacturers can use ARM's advanced technology to design high-performance, low-power processors with faster speed and higher efficiency. The POP license is very valuable for manufacturers who want to integrate high-performance ARM processors in their products.
Architecture authorization is an authorization method of ARM, which allows authorized cooperative manufacturers to use ARM's architecture to design and produce processors by themselves. This authorization method is widely used in the field of chip design. Many well-known chip design companies have used ARM's architecture authorization, such as Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, Huawei, etc. After obtaining the ARM architecture authorization, these companies can design and produce processors with high performance and low power consumption according to their own needs and design concepts to meet various application requirements.
ARM server ecology
On the mobile side, the server chip market requires long-term technical investment and extensive support from software and hardware systems. Therefore, ARM has united manufacturers in the entire industry chain (including chip suppliers, OEM manufacturers, ODM manufacturers, independent hardware suppliers, and cloud infrastructure suppliers) Vendors, etc.), jointly formulated the minimum hardware requirements of the SBSA specification and the minimum firmware requirements of the SBBR specification, and created new application specifications using this standard.

Basic software, such as operating system, tool chain (programming language and development tools), cloud basic software (virtualization and container), etc., have achieved full support for ARM through the efforts of open source ecological communities such as Lina Rioh and various ARM server manufacturers.
The mainstream operating system software releases (CentOS, OpenSuse, Ubuntu, etc.) all rely on a unified and open hardware architecture standard, and all support ARM64.
The tool chain is also a key link in the basic software ecosystem. At present, mainstream compilers (GCC, LLVM, etc.) and programming languages (C, C++, Python, Java, Go, etc.) all provide support for ARM64, and have commercial capabilities in terms of performance and stability.
Cloud infrastructure software mainly includes virtualization software and containers . The current mainstream open source virtualization software KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) and X (an open source Hypervisor) both provide commercial support for ARM64.
In the field of open source software , open source application software mainly includes all mainstream data center business scenarios, such as cloud computing services (OpenStack, Ceph, Spark, etc.), high performance computing services (OpenHPC), databases (MySQL, etc.), etc. The ARM64 open source community headed by Linaro built an ERP (Enterprise Reference Palatform)
