If you use OpenCL, then you can use a CPU driver if there is no GPU, and that can allow you to leverage all the CPU cores without having to do the multi-thread stuff in the backend.

While the compilation of a specific kernel can be quite expensive, it also has the effect of a JIT compiler in terms of system independence.
