What is the BOINC?
BOINC is an open-source middleware system, supports volunteer and grid computing. Originally developed to support the SETI@home project, it became generalized as a platform for other distributed applications in areas as diverse as mathematics, linguistics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, environmental science, and astrophysics, among others. BOINC aims to enable researchers to tap into the enormous processing resources of multiple personal computers around the world.
With more and more multi GPU machines i wish it would be possible to set BOINC to a specific GPU and/or to limit BOINC to a specific GPU when an exclusive app is running.
