Use integrated graphics for display and NVIDIA GPU for CUDA on Ubuntu 14.04

This was tested on a ThinkPad P70 laptop with an Intel integrated graphics and an NVIDIA GPU:

lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 191b (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204GLM [Quadro M3000M] (rev a1)

A reason to use the integrated graphics for display is if installing the NVIDIA drivers causes the display to stop working properly. In my case, Ubuntu would get stuck in a login loop after installing the NVIDIA drivers. This happened regardless if I installed the drivers from the "Additional Drivers" tab in "System Settings" or the ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa in the command-line.

Intel for display, Nvidia for computing

Intel for display, NVIDIA for computing

This guide will show you how to use Intel graphics for rendering display and NVIDIA graphics for CUDA computing on Ubuntu 18.04 desktop.

I made this work on an ordinary gaming PC with two graphics devices, an Intel UHD Graphics 630 plus an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Both of them can be shown via lspci | grep VGA.
