Dear mantainer,

can you add exclusive application for gpu only, in sense that an app excludes gpu computing but not cpu.

Hi Alessandro,

quoting upstream [1]:

Suspend processor and network usage when these applications are running: When programs in this list are detected in memory, BOINC will stop working on them. A separate option to stop working on the GPU only, but allow work on the CPU to continue, will come in a future version. Until that time you will have to hand edit the cc_config.xml file and use the <exclusive_gpu_app/> flag for that.

So I guess we just need to wait!

cheers,
