Take a look at this WU: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1995001958

And another: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1994788983

Which brings up a question, how can I not run APs on the CPU? I think there is a way but can not find it with searching.

Actually it's not a mystery. That Host doesn't have the 11 completed tasks to give a useful APR, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/host_app_versions.php?hostid=7844250
Until the Host has 11 completed CPU OR GPU APs it will issue max credit for the 100% blanked APs.
I would suggest you take advantage of the situation and run all the B3_P1s you have and hope they validate Before you get those 11 completed tasks.

Not running a certain task is easy under Anonymous platform. Simply remove the associated entry from your App_Info.xml file. If the App_Info doesn't supply an App for CPU APs the server will not send any tasks for a non-existing App.

I think I will just let it run. Looks like I might get one or two more.

If I change the App_Info will it affect any of the tasks that I currently have?

If it was me I would suspend all other tasks and let B3_P1 tasks run and then unsuspend tasks to let them complete. The reason I would do this is because it helps clear the database faster.

If your App_Info doesn't supply an App for an existing task the server will immediately abandon that existing task(s). Without an App listed/supplied the task is unworkable, that's why the server only sends tasks to listed Apps.
