Is there a chance we can get computer groups like home, school and work under the Axiom Distributed AI preferences (https://axiom.heliex.net/prefs.php?subset=project) ?
I'd like to put computers which run CPU only in one group and GPU only computers in another group.
You can look at other boinc projects how it's done.

thanky in advance

This is now available. On the Computing Preferences page you will see a Location profile dropdown at the top where you can select Default, Home, School, or Work and set different preferences for each.

It's not working as intended yet. There need to be separate settings for the GPU and CPU in their respective groups.

Computer location profiles (Home, School, Work) are now available under Computing Preferences. Additionally, you can control which task types you receive under Axiom Distributed AI preferences (found under Project > Preferences on the website):

- **Allow CPU-only tasks** — uncheck to stop receiving CPU work
- **Use GPU** — uncheck to stop receiving GPU work

The server will stop sending those task types on the next scheduler request. Existing tasks already downloaded will finish normally.
