I don't think David was saying that only one model number can be handled per
manufacturer - many user posts on many message boards would put the lie to
that.
He said that only one 'type' of GPU can be handled, which in turn I take to
mean that only one can be specified per GPU brand.

And if tomorrow some new brand will develop? What then? For example, in near
future Intel will provide OpenCL support for their CPU+GPU chips. That is, new
GPU vendor...
IMHO, this support should be generalized to not require such deep hardcoding in
BOINC. Abstract "compute device" model should

Dang!
So, does that mean that
BOINC can currently handle only 1 type of GPU per brand per host;
i.e. it can handle 1 type of NVIDIA GPU and 1 type of ATI GPU.
Removing this restriction if possible but would be a
medium-large development project.

And what about anonymous platform?
How can I define that one GPU requires one type of app and another GPU requires
another app type? Project can have no GPU apps at all in general, but there can
be third-party GPU apps...

The plan class mechanism lets projects define their own plan classes,
and they can use these to target app versions
to specific GPU characteristics if they like.
They don't need BOINC to define these plan classes for them.
