Is it absolutely necessary to use GPU #471

It's a very simple question. Is it absolutely necessary to use GPU for using iai_kinect2? I have Jetson TX1, but I am doing development(ex:writing code) with a PC with only CPU.

No, you can use a CPU. Both GPU and CPU can be used as the back-end for OpenCL, and this is utilized here.
