I've been thinking about it after all. I selected the users who participated in the tests of the application (NWChem long) and the chaotic versions of NWchem (normal queue) and add the beta badge.

select distinct result.userid, user.name from result,user where (app_version_num=16 or app_version_num=15 or app_version_num=14 or app_version_num=12 or appid=3) and result.userid=user.id; 
+--------+------------------------------+
| userid | name                         |
+--------+------------------------------+


Strange. I have the beta badge, but i'm not in the list...

Now 107.
Seem that the situation has not an easy solution (to find correct parametes of simulations).

I'll launch a re-validate on all WU.

To be clear: for me the problem is not points, it's that without wus validated there is no science.

I have 42 wus pending for validation...

Where are my wingmans?

Have you checked to see if they are still waiting for another computer to complete the WU ?
These tasks are minimum quorum 2 now.

Yes, i have a lot of wingmans who have not complete the wus

You're right, for lack of time, I jumped to the conclusion very quickly. I exchanged courteous e-mails with the user. I always give the benefit of the doubt and in this case the truth is more subtle. His intention was not to cheat on credits, but to store a lot of work units.

You can, if you want, limit wus per host very easily

Now i'm crunching VERY short wus for windows (less than 2 minutes), "test_app,batch01," and all are "validation inconclusive", like this

Yesterday, I had to suspend an account for two weeks and remove credits, for obvious credit cheating. I'm quite annoyed that instead of doing science, I have to deal with this kind of behavior. We're small and we're short on time and it doesn't help scientific research...

I like science and hate cheaters.
So, i'm waiting for new simulations...

If you increase the task length how will we know for sure if its just another long running molecule that needs aborting or it really is a long task that will complete and score cobblestones?

A new science carries risks.

P.S.
Despite i prefer the "two app solution (big wus/small wus)", i voted for the choice 2 (only big simulation), because i think that admins (they are only 2, with a lot of other work commitements) cannot manage a too complex situation, with different apps, with different bugs, etc.

Thank you for giving your choices and opinions under this post.

For me, the second one. New science.
No problems if wus are long if there are checkpoints

Why not focus on the Linux app that works great and focus all of your attention on the science???

I agree about science, but not about Linux, because Windows clients are MUCH more than Linux.

Yes, QCP added these to your Preferences.

Ok, i have "no limits" in "max number of tasks" and "no limits" in "max number of cpu".
Have i to set cpu=1??

Now that they added the Max # jobs & Max # CPUs options we need to know what you selected.


I don't configure app_config.xml (cause i don't like), but if it is necessary....
Any suggestion?

I don't know if this argument was solved in this forum..........but this is my problem:
I have an "old" 24 Xeon cpu (with 20 gb of ram).
I set up to use 100% of cpu (and it runs correctly with all projects), but with Quchem i have this situation:
Only 6 wus run (25% of cpu usage)
Some wus have "waiting for memory" message, but i have over 10gb of free ram.

Waiting for a native windows app, i'd like to try to solve this situation.
