This is because there is no numba implementation on these computers.

Any ideas on how to overcome this limitation?

Hi! Thanks for your attention to our work. In fact, the numba is used in light calculation stage, typically in function EZ_CUDA_compute_light_intensity_fast, you can swich to the cpu version CPU_compute_light_fast at the line 72 in the 'lpy.py' . However, I still recommend you to use the device with Nvidia GPUs to accelerate this process, since it is really time-consuming! :( We will fix the time-efficiency probelm in the coming work. You can pay a special attention to it : ).
