Enable OpenCL over multiple platforms in Linux? How to proceed with ICD files?

Question

Details

What drivers/packages do I have to install in order to enable OpenCL over multiple platforms: CPU (Intel), Integrated GPU (Intel), Dedicated GPU (NVIDIA)?
It would be nice to have all platforms running OpenCL 1.2 or above

I know it is probably a simple fix, maybe just the right selection of libraries/SKDs, but I am having some trouble getting more them one platform to work.

Running ubuntu 14.04: I have a intel core I5 with the integrated intel graphics and a dedicated NVIDIA Geforce 710m board.

Resources I have used

https://wiki.tiker.net/OpenCLHowTo
Here (under Debian) it tells me that I only need:

Packages of ICD loaders: (you just need one of these)
Packages of ICDs
Package for headers

What I have already tried

Installed CUDA7.5 (yes for all)
- Had a black screen due drivers conflics
  - Resolved by uninstalling all nvidia drivers and installing 352
  - Still left Cuda SDK install
From: How to make OpenCL work on 14.10 + Nvidia 331.89 drivers?
- sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm nvidia-opencl-dev nvidia-modprobe
- Those packages downgraded my drivers to 331 and 340
Also from: How to make OpenCL work on 14.10 + Nvidia 331.89 drivers?
- Linked libraries with:
  - sudo ln -s /usr/include/nvidia-352/GL /usr/local/include
  - sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libOpenCL.so
- OpenCL 1.1 worked for NVIDIA GPU
- Could not get OpenCL 1.2, thus decided to uninstall 331 and 340 and install again 352
Installed 352 (again)
- OpenCL 1.1 stopped working for NVIDIA GPU (and still does not work)
Installed Intel opencl_runtime_14.2_x64_4.5.0.8.tgz
- Created a simbolic link to intel ICD with:
  - sudo ln -s /opt/intel/opencl-1.2-4.5.0.8/etc/intel64.icd
- OpenCL 1.2 worked for CPU (and still works)
Installed clinfo sudo apt-get install clinfo
- only intel CPU platform is detected
Tried to install several different NVIDIA packages to get NVIDIA GPU work again but had no luck with that

Installed packages and some information:

So...

How can I get NVIDIA gpu to also show up as a OPENCL 1.2 (or higher) platform? How about the integrated intel graphics?
Would AMD libraries work with my hardware?
Why most of the nvidia packages are marked as deinstall?

As mentioned before, three things are necessary:

From https://wiki.tiker.net/OpenCLHowTo

Packages of ICD loaders: (you just need one of these)
Packages of ICDs
Package for headers

Thus for an Intel CPU and a NVIDIA GPU

Packages of ICD loaders:
- ocl-icd-libopencl1
Packages of ICDs
- Installed Intel OpenCL runtime
- nvidia-opencl-icd-352
Package for headers
- opencl-headers

However, to get it to work, it is necessary to make sure the packages are marked as install by dpkg --get-selections | grep opencl

sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-opencl-icd-352 opencl-headers ocl-icd-libopencl1

On top of that, you must make sure that intel64.icd and nvidia.icd are in /etc/OpenCL/vendors (ls -l /etc/OpenCL/vendors).

That said, I had to link intel64.icd with:

cd /etc/OpenCL/vendors/
sudo ln -s /opt/intel/opencl-1.2-X.X.X.X/etc/intel64.icd

And, since nvidia.icd was not in the folder (even after the installation of the right package) I had to extract it and manually move from the deb package

dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-opencl-icd-352_352.63-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb ~/tempfolder
sudo mv ~/tempfolder/etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd /etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd
rm -r ~/tempfolder

Finally, make sure nvidia is the active GPU

sudo prime-select nvidia
sudo reboot -r now

Install and execute clinfo and both platforms should show-up.
