Yep I've enabled using Intel

Yep I've enabled using Intel GPU in the settings and tasks were sent (after I renamed the GPU to include the "HD Graphics 4000" wording). Unfortunately nearly all GPU tasks required manual intervention because they cause the system to freeze and I had to reboot/SIGKILL the task. The following are two of the GPU tasks, the other tasks seem to have been deleted.

I managed to install Windows

I managed to install Windows 8.1 with official Intel Graphics driver, and now Windows consistently freezes half a minute to a few minutes after booting.

I guess it's not worth debugging any further, as it's likely a hardware defect with this particular chip. It's probably why the unit was sent to the e-waste collection in the first place. 

Despite not being able to make it work, thank you and I appreciate the help so far!

I managed to make it crunch a few dozen GPU tasks without freezing. In fact, it runs perfectly fine with 4 CPU tasks and 1 GPU task at the same time. So far it has 3 invalid/5 valid/28 pending GPU tasks, only time will tell if it's actually good. The chip was not defective after all, it's just the new kernel/driver not doing it justice. 

The computer: https://einsteinathome.org/host/13190712, i3-5005U, 2C/4T, HD Graphics 5500

  • Ubuntu 16.04 installed then apt updated to 16.04.7
  • Kernel 4.4.0-210
  • Host driver "beignet-opencl-icd/xenial,now 1.1.1-2", "ocl-icd-libopencl1/xenial,now 2.2.8-1"
  • Docker 18.09.7
  • Docker image linuxserver/boinc:7.16.17
  • Container driver "beignet-opencl-icd/now 1.3.2-2", "ocl-icd-libopencl1/now 2.2.11-1ubuntu1"
  • Container BOINC 7.16.17
  • Hard-coded coproc_info.xml to show "<name>Intel HD Graphics 1 Family</name>"

Sadly there's no intel_gpu_top available for the 4.4 kernel, but I'm more than happy that it now runs stable!

BOINC 7.6.31 that comes with Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't detect the GPU and I'm not in the mood for manually compiling BOINC, so I elected to use a Docker image. At the same time, the old beignet-opencl-icd driver didn't cause the machine to freeze at all, whereas the newer intel-opencl-icd driver (requires newer kernel too) kept freezing.
