GPU device emulator

votes

I am new to learning CUDA and I was looking around for a good emulator to run my CUDA programs on, since my laptop does not come with a Graphics card.

I have heard of mcuda and gpuocelot but they seem to have terrible and confusing documentation. I have been trying to get them installed for a few hours now but with very little progress.

Does any one know of a decent GPU emulator with good documentation. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 operating system

Thank you,

Gaurish

nvcc has an option to turn on the emulation mode and will run the entire application on your CPU. You don't need to have a CUDA enabled GPU for this, of course.

nvcc -deviceemu my_first_app.cu
