What Intel video driver for Haswell HD IGP for compute?

I'm running Collatz Conjecture under BOINC, and with my Skylake i3-6100, it can "compute" using the iGPU.

I thought I had heard that Haswell could likewise do that, but whatever video driver I found on my mobo mfg's site doesn't seem to work. (ECS H81H3-M4 V1.0A).

I'm using the most recent version of BOINC from their web site.

Project has to support either Opencl or directcompute 5.0 since that's all the igpu supports,then the driver doesn't matter,other then more recent=more better.

Are we to assume that the iGPU is exposed in the BIOS and the OS? If you are running off of a dGPU and have disabled the iGPU, then that would also be a factor. I know that should be obvious, but you never know. ;)

The problem wasn't the video driver after all. I needed the newest MS VC Runtime installed, for the project app to run properly.
