The part about no virtual memory is kind of incorrect though. It doesn't work exactly like on the CPU, but still.

I'm not totally up to speed on modern GPU's - do they have a MMU that handles page faults on non-resident pages like a CPU would?

My understanding is that the GPU memory models are different enough that what an OS traditionally calls "virtual memory" couldn't be implemented in the same way.
