I'm not very involved in GPU computing, but one thing we would imagine 
wanting to do would be segmentation of a GPU into multiple job slots.  
One could imagine a GPU-centric pool configuration where a single system 
with, say, 8 CPU cores, manages a connect GPU system with, say, 32 sets 
of 32 stream processors each, or 4 sets per CPU.  The one physical 
system which usually would have 8 condor job slots would instead have 32 
job slots.
