Keras using GPU vs CPU

Are there any differences from the programming point of view(syntax,functions or any other ) in 'Keras with back-end as Tensorflow' while working on 'Keras GPU' and 'Keras CPU'? I meant if one program can run on a GPU enabled Keras, Will the same program run on Keras CPU(efficiency doesn't matter)?

GPU code running on CPU? Sure, it is basic Multithreading. And you needed to avoid the race conditions anyway. For most intents a GPU is just a giant load of realy weak CPU's, wich allows highly effective Multithreading (basically a display-high times display-width Core).

The other way (running procedural CPU code in a massively paralell GPU enviroment) is where the work lies.
