Description: VLSI layout tool
Magic is a venerable VLSI layout tool, written in the 1980's at Berkeley by
John Ousterhout, now famous primarily for writing the scripting interpreter
language Tcl. Due largely in part to its liberal Berkeley open-source license,
magic has remained popular with universities and small companies. The
open-source license has allowed VLSI engineers with a bent toward programming
to implement clever ideas and help magic stay abreast of fabrication
technology. However, it is the well thought-out core algorithms which lend to
magic the greatest part of its popularity. Magic is widely cited as being the
easiest tool to use for circuit layout, even for people who ultimately rely on
commercial tools for their product design flow.
