I’m taking a course that teaches CUDA. I would like to use it my personal laptop, but I don’t have Nvidia graphics processor. mine is ATI . so I was thinking is there any Virtual Hardware simulator that I can use? or that there is no other way than using a PC with CUDA Graphics processor.
Thank you very much
The CUDA toolkit used to ship with a host CPU emulation mode, but that was deprecated early in the 3.0 release cycle and has been fully removed from toolkits for the best part of two years.
Your only real option today is to use Ocelot. It has a PTX assembly translator and a pretty reliable reimplementation of the CUDA runtime for x86 CPUs, and there is also a rather experimental PTX to AMD IL translator (I have no experience with the latter). On a modern linux system with an up to date GNU toolchain, Ocelot is reasonably easy to get running. I am not sure if there is a functioning Windows port or not.
