In my situation I have weak and old cpu but quite new and powerful GPU
The point is: I want use GPU for boinc projects more often
The suggestion is: add option to scienceunited computation settings what let me prefer tasks from GPU projects more than CPU only.
It looks like ratio entry
for example: I want to let my PC do tasks from projects what uses GPU more often than projects with CPU only option. I can set dispersion ratio in menu GPU/CPU tasks: 7:1
It means what only 1 of 8 next projects will be CPU only in timeline, others will use my GPU

Second this! And with how "whether or not could a project use the GPU" is already seemingly part of the task distributing algorithm....


(see by going to https://scienceunited.org/su_hosts.php, then click on one of your host's Science United info)

...I feel like this could be achieved with minimal pain and suffering, by - say - adding a multiplier that the user can adjust or something !
