| 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. |
