VMware supports CUDA/OpenCL, I'd wager that VB might not?
http://blogs.vmware.com/performance/2011/10/gpgpu-computing-in-a-vm.html

An article from 2011 says VB doesn't (didn't then)

Using Gallium3D would also make it feasible to also open up other forms of
acceleration to guests such as for OpenCL, OpenVG, OpenGL ES, and Xorg
EXA/XvMC. VirtualBox does provide 2D acceleration support when using their
driver. The VirtualBox Direct3D driver is also limited to Direct3D 8/9
while there is a Gallium3D Direct3D 10/11 state
tracker<http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=15292>in existence.

Just a guess, but maybe others are using VirtualBox and OpenCL, I can't
seem to find it in my search however...
