UltraSoc products put intelligent self-analytic capabilities in the systems-on-chip (SoCs) at the heart of today’s consumer electronic, computing and communications products.UltraSoc's embedded analytics technology helps solve the most pressing problems faced by the high-tech industries today – including cybersecurity, functional safety, and the management of complexity. UltraSoc solutions also allow designers to develop SoCs – the driving force behind both performance improvement and cost reduction in the electronics business – more quickly and cost-effectively.The UltraSoC flagship product line is a suite of semiconductor IP that puts an intelligent analytics infrastructure into the core hardware of an SoC. This provides intimate visibility of the real-world behavior of entire systems. The ultimate benefits include robustness against malicious intrusions;  enhanced product safety; reduced system power consumption; and overall better performance – with fine-tuning of end products even after they are deployed in the field.  These capabilities address applications in a broad range of market sectors, from automotive and IoT products, to at-scale computing and communications infrastructure.

Valtrix Systems was formed with a mission of creating world class tools and testing methodologies that will help companies efficiently verify the designs of IPs and SoCs. The founding team comprises of system validation veterans who bring with them many year's of experience of validating complex microprocessor/system functionalities.

STING, the flagship product of Valtrix Systems, is a highly versatile bare-metal software tool for design verification of SoC implementations. Implemented in an architecture agnostic manner, it supports generation of constrained random, directed or graph-based portable stimulus for multiple IPs.

Valtrix have integrated STING with riscvOVPsim, the free RISC-V ISS (Instruction Set Simulator) Imperas launched to support RISC-V software and tools ecosystem development, and to validate and test RISC-V open ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) implementations. Valtrix can configure virtual platforms as a verification reference as well as extending the RISC-V envelope model with custom instructions.
