The Arm Risc Chip: A Programmer's Guide

One of the reasons the ARM was designed as a small-scale processor was that the resources to design it were not sufficient to allow the creation of a large and complex device. While this is now presented as (and genuinely is) a technical plus for the ARM processor core, it began as a necessity for a processor designed by a team of talented but inexperienced designers (outside of university projects, most team members were programmers and board-level cricuit designers) using new tools, some of which were far from state-of-the-art. With these restrictions on design and testing, it is hardly a surprise that a small device was developed.

An Interview with Ian Sutherland

It seems to me the secret to success in research activities is to pick something easy enough to do. It's very nice if you can find something that you think is easy and everybody else thinks it's hard. That's wonderful, but a lot of people tend to pick projects that are too hard. I've tried to pick easy ones to work on. And there are plenty of easy ones going begging.
