I'm aware that hardware simulation of processors is something which is done, particularly by the people who design those processors.
It takes a lot of grunt to simulate a modern GPU or CPU, and of course getting near realtime is impossible, but it's handy if you want to run a load of code through it to see if it actually works.
So... yes, you can unit test the design of your processor. If you have a big enough server farm.
