WOLF-153W
Overview

HPEC with NVIDIA Ada RTX 5000E, ConnectX-7 SmartNIC, and 40/100GbE Optical Fabric
The VPX3U-AD5000E-CX7-OPTICAL HPEC module integrates an NVIDIA RTX™ 5000E (AD103) embedded GPU with an NVIDIA® ConnectX®-7 SmartNIC to provide high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) and AI acceleration with secure, high-bandwidth networking.
ConnectX-7 provides PCIe connectivity plus **dual 40/100GBASE optical fabric interfaces for efficient movement of large datasets, including RoCE and NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA support for low-latency data transfer.
The module includes 16 GB GDDR6 (256-bit) VRAM with ECC, and a configurable 100W to 140W power envelope. At a default 80W TGP, the GPU provides up to 18.1 TFLOPS at base clock and up to 32.7 TFLOPS at boost clock (cooling dependent).
