Magic is a venerable VLSI layout tool, written in the 1980's at Berkeley by
|
|
John Ousterhout, of Tcl fame. 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.
