For example, if app takes 1/4 of GPU memory no matter how much GPU processing resources it uses, no more than 4 instances per GPU should be launched by BOINC.

Is it possible to add such constraint into app_info file now?

You can specify, e.g.:

<coproc>
    <type>CUDA</type>
    <count>.25</count>
</coproc>

This will only increase throughput if the app uses 1/4 or less of the GPU RAM, AND 1/4 or less of its processors.
