To plug away: to work hard and in a determined way, especially at something that you find difficult.

Powering: to provide a machine with energy and the ability to operate

Software: Software is a collection of instructions and data that tell the computer how to work.

@teriteri Oh, Then I think the sentence means " C remains to work hard although the works are difficult, to provide a machine with much of the world's software.". Is my understanding correct?

@bqgp
Yes!
“...In the background..”means that it is working quietly without bringing a lot of attention to itself.
