It appears that they will be adding Virtualbox apps
http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=3838#37524
I am adding this app_config info in the first post so that any whom come here will have easy access. This allows for 2 tasks to run on your GPU at a time. You can change the numbers to run more, but it is up to you to decide what maximizes your points on your hardware.:
<app_config>
<app>
<name>acemdshort</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.3</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>
Many people don't see an increase in efficiency by running more than one work unit, however it is up to you to test and decide based on your specific hardware.
Edit: I created an account called HardOCPtest so that anyone whom wanted to test or contribute anonymously could do so.
to attach a computer to your account without using the BOINC Manager.
To do so, install BOINC, create a file named account_www.gpugrid.net.xml in the BOINC data directory, and set its contents to:
<account>

Hi,
Eagle eyes!
Yes, we've been running vbox apps in-house for a while now, and may start to run them on GPUGRID soon. Right now, it'll only work with Linux hosts, and probably only with Virtual Box 4.3. I'm not planning to send any work units just yet, will post onthe news when I do.
