(moderation:
How to do I configure BOINC to accept GPU tasks only. I used to do it once by configuring a file in some BOINC directory but it was long ago and I don't remember it.
Can someone show me which file it is and which part should I edit.
Thanks.

The project I want this for is not Einstein@Home. It is DistrRTgen. And it doesn't have those settings there.
So i have to rely on BOINC's own configurations.

You need to use the

You need to use the cc_config.xml file, look here for the extended set of options in the cc_config.xml file: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration
This file doesnt exist by deffault, so if you dont have one you need to create it and put it on the BOINC data directory (the exact location for your host is shown in the first lines of the event log)
I guess you will need to use the N tag and set it to 0 if you have a newer version of BOINC...
But keep in mind that this will stop CPU crunching for all the projects attached to that host...
Im not sure if the newest versions have another way to achieve this...

If you go into your account and then preferences for this project at DistRTgen you will see this:
Use CPU
Enforced by version 6.10+ no
Make it NO, update thru your local Boinc Manager, and you will no longer get cpu units.
