GPU Folding doesn't currently work on Intel graphics, rather only AMD/ATI and Nvidia.

GPU Folding also does not use OpenGL but rather OpenCl. They are two totally different standards that have little to do with each other. OpenGl is an API for rendering 2D/3D graphics while OpenCl is for general purpose parallel computing language and API using both the GPU and CPU.

I looked up your chip and supposedly the current drivers support OpenCl v1.2 as well as OpenGl 4.0.
