You can already do that with the <exclude_gpu> element in the cc_config.xml,
by making sure you set the appname means a particular GPU can be excluded from
using that app.

> Subject: [boinc_dev] FEATURE REQUEST: app_config.xml additional field - to

> Please add ability to exclude particular GPU per application basis in same
> way as it currently done on more global level.
> This will allow users to partition their hardware resources in most effective
> manner.
> Current GPU hardware, being merged in single class (let say NV or ATI)
> actually has very different compute abilities inside this class.
> Possibility to exclude device on per application basis will allow to use slow
> device for app with short tasks and fast device for longer tasks that will
> make host setup more error-protected.
> As side bonus it will allow new type of app incompatibilities workaround.
>
> Currently such partition can be done only in very clumsy way by installing
> few separate instances of BOINC client on the same host with anonymous
> platform mechanism in play.
> Proposing ability will considerably simplify setup for multi-GPU hosts.
