OCEAN is a comprehensive chip design package which 
was developed at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. It 
includes a full set of powerful tools for the synthesis and verification 
of semi-custom sea-of-gates and gate-array chips.  OCEAN covers the 
back-end of the design trajectory: from circuit level, down to layout 
and a working chip. In a nutshell, OCEAN has the following features:

      + Hierarchical (full-custom-like) layout style on sea-of-gates.
      + Powerful tools for placement, routing, simulation and extraction.
      + Any combination of automatic and interactive manual layout.
      + Short learning curve making it suitable for student design courses.
      + Available for free, including all source code.
      + Running on popular Linux PC, HP and Sun machines, easy installation.
      + Includes three sea-of-gates images with libraries and template chip.
      + Can be easily adapted to arbitrary images with any number of layers.
      + Interface programs for other tools and systems (SIS, cadence, etc.)
      + Robust and 'combat-proven', used by hundreds of people.
