I have the following

cc_config.xml

settings

<cc_config>
    <options>
       <ignore_intel_dev>1</ignore_intel_dev>
   </options>
</cc_config>

BOINC detects my setting to ignore Intel GPU. Yet it is still fetching Intel GPU work units.

Fri Nov  9 12:55:40 2018 |  | Config: ignoring Intel GPU 1
Fri Nov  9 12:55:40 2018 |  | log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task
Fri Nov  9 12:55:57 2018 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
Fri Nov  9 12:55:57 2018 | SETI@home | Requesting new tasks for Intel GPU

Is there anyway to prevent BOINC from fetching Intel GPU workunits when I have it disabled?

The "best" place to stop a particular type of processor getting tasks is from your "Account" web page:
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project
Simply de-select the Intel GPU option and you will stop getting tasks for the Intel GPU from SETI

It's also because GPU device numbering starts at 0 (zero). So the Intel device to ignore is 0 (zero)

<cc_config>
    <options>
       <ignore_intel_dev>0</ignore_intel_dev>
   </options>
</cc_config>

On a single CPU system you can't have a second Intel GPU (GPU 1), because there's only one built into the CPU.
But in essence, unchecking the Use Intel GPU option on the project's preferences page fixes all that.
