Will it work on Intel CPU OpenCL ? #82

Hey guys,

Perhaps it's naive question but could you tell me the difference between CPU and GPU versions in this particular version of TF ? What version would I need if I want to use TF with Intel CPU based OpenCL ? I have i7 on kabylake. It supports OpenCL 2.0

I tried to use GPU version first and oddly it wants libcublas.so.9.0 from Nvidia CUDA 9.0. CPU version seems to be just CPU version.

OpenCL support on Intel processors uses their iGPU so there is no point using the CPU version of tensorflow-opencl as it wont take advantage of the opencl acceleration.
