Can somebody provide some advice - or point me to some reading - on the following topic?

I'd like to start distributing some software as a Linux virtual appliance that can be easily and freely installed by Win & Mac (as well as Linux) users.  Some of this code can (in principle) be GPU accelerated via GPU-BLAS libraries.  Can executables running in a Guest "see" available GPU resources on their Host - if so, is this dependent upon the virtualization system?  The Guest OS will be SL6x (hence my post here), and will be running in a text mode (i.e. without a graphical desktop / window manager).

Thanks,

Jim.
