title: Running CUDA on a virtual machine without a physical NVidia GPU card
body: <p>Is it possible to run a CUDA program on a virtual machine without having a physical NVidia GPU card on the host machine?</p>
  
  <p>PCIe passthrough is only viable if the host machine has an NVidia card and that's not available.</p>
  
  <p>One possible option to run CUDA programs without a GPU installed is to use an emulator/simulator (ex: <a href="http://gpgpu-sim.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://gpgpu-sim.org/</a> ) but these simulators are usually limited.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate a clear answer on that matter.
  Thanks!</p>
