... seems to be a bit outdated.

Looking on my mix of pc's and androids 4 venues are far not enough and I would like to give them more significant names like 'Android setup', 'Intel GPU only' etc.
A bigger step foreward could be a graphical UI to do all the setups that are done with app_info, app_config etc to make local setups to run one, two or even more wu's per gpu type attached to the system. And the new Citicen Science grid app also needs individual settings for # of concurrent wu's, dependig on installed memory.
Two more setups are required.
I usually run all my pc's with a work buffer of 0.1 day. But for example Poem has usually only once or twice a week gpu wu's available. When the have wu's, I would like to download a 3 day workbuffer for this project only, leaving the global wu buffer at 0.1.
The other thing is the big difference in cpu usage with gpu apps. Running several different project may lead to a over or under reservation of the cores, especially when running more than one wu per gpu or even mixed projects per gpu.

OK, I know this is a very difficult stuff, I do not expect an immediate solution, but I want to start a brainstorming process because it requires more and more efford to find a good setup for the running mix and it will be more difficult in the future, especiall when the openCL and cuda apps for android come (and I really hope that they will come).

Thank you for your attention,

Alexander

I know that some projects and account managers will allow you to make locations other than the defaults (home, school, work) but I don't how know they play with the projects that don't support them... AFAIK, BOINC Manager should use the newest preferences for all projects, so as long as you pick one project (or use an account manager that supports other locations like BAM) to make your changes at then they should also apply to the projects that don't have the capability on their web management. So, it could/should work just fine, but I haven't done any experimentation myself.
