The WOLF VPX3U-BW5000E-CX7 is a rugged embedded platform. Engineered for organisations deploying 3U VPX High Performance Embedded Computing solutions in environments where processing density, data throughput and system integration flexibility are critical.
Built around the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Blackwell embedded GPU, the module integrates advanced parallel processing capability. Along with high-speed networking to support demanding AI, HPC and embedded computing workloads. The platform incorporates 10,496 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores designed for accelerated matrix and compute operations across data-intensive environments.
To support movement of large datasets between processing resources, the module integrates NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC technology. This allows configurable PCIe switching and support for high-speed Ethernet connectivity. Support for GPUDirect RDMA and RoCE enables efficient transfer paths between network and GPU resources. Suitable for embedded compute architectures requiring low-latency data movement.
The platform includes 24 GB of GDDR7 memory with ECC support and delivers memory bandwidth of up to 896 GB/s. PCIe support up to x16 enables fast communication to and from the module. Therefore, helping to support data-intensive embedded applications.
For video and visual processing workloads, the Blackwell architecture includes dedicated hardware acceleration through NVENC and NVDEC technologies. Along with support for up to 8K encoding and hardware decoding capabilities. The module supports CUDA Toolkit 12, OpenCL 3.0, DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.2 development environments.
Engineered for rugged deployment sites, the VPX3U-BW5000E-CX7 uses a conduction-cooled mechanical design. It operates from -40°C to +70°C under standard conditions. It can operate up to +85°C when needed. Additional environmental specifications include vibration and shock characteristics intended for demanding embedded system environments.
The module supports SOSA aligned payload slot profiles and configurable PCIe and networking options, enabling integration flexibility and compatibility across embedded compute deployments.
