Can I run CUDA on Intel s integrated graphics processor

Question

I have a very simple Toshiba Laptop with i3 processor  Also  I do not have any expensive graphics card  In the display settings  I see Intel HD  Graphics as display adapter  I am planning to learn some cuda programming  But  I am not sure  if I can do that on my laptop as it does not have any nvidia s cuda enabled GPU   In fact  I doubt  if I even have a GPU o o  So  I would appreciate if someone can tell me if I can do CUDA programming with the current configuration and if possible also let me know what does Intel HD  Graphics mean

Intel HD Graphics is usually the on-CPU graphics chip in newer Core i3/i5/i7 processors.

As far as I know it doesn't support CUDA (which is a proprietary NVidia technology), but OpenCL is supported by NVidia, ATi and Intel.

Portland group have a  commercial product called CUDA x86  it is hybrid compiler which creates CUDA C  C   code which can either run on GPU or use SIMD on CPU  this is done  fully automated without  any intervention for the developer  Hope this helps   Link  http   www pgroup com products pgiworkstation htm

If you re interested in learning a language which supports massive parallelism better go for OpenCL since you don t have an NVIDIA GPU  You can run OpenCL on Intel CPUs  but at best you can learn to program SIMDs  Optimization on CPU and GPU are different  I really don t think you can use Intel card for GPGPU

At the present time  Intel graphics chips do not support CUDA  It is possible that  in the nearest future  these chips will support OpenCL  which is a standard that is very similar to CUDA   but this is not guaranteed and their current drivers do not support OpenCL either   There is an Intel OpenCL SDK available  but  at the present time  it does not give you access to the GPU     Newest Intel processors  Sandy Bridge  have a GPU integrated into the CPU core  Your processor may be a previous-generation version  in which case  Intel HD  graphics  is an independent chip
