I'll try to update this post as these team MM goals are reached.
Quick summary:
Jump on Aqua (Accomplished 3/5/11),
Work GPU Grid (Accomplished 2/11/11),

All Team MM project total goals for the current period have been reached. Thanks team mates. Check out the post on the Team Top Ten MM that appears in this same forum if you are looking for a project to get involved with for a couple of months
.
Also look for an updated (new post) sometime next month as to what next and see what we accomplished on Team MM this first quarter of 2011.
Details by MM level follow.
Join group Team Mega Milestones for more details.
Column 1 is current rank in world
Column 2 is # of project at milestone
Column 3 is # of project soon to make it (subjectively determined)
Column 4 is Team Name
1 Billion MM
- 1 5 0 SETI.Germany
- 2 4 2 SETI.USA
- 2 4 0 Sicituradastra
- 2 4 0 Team 2ch
- 5 3 0 Czech National Team
- 5 3 1 L'Alliance Francophone
Observation: Good opportunity to get
and hold a first place!!!! PG is virtually automatic in a few days. Aqua is also close and will make us
sole possessors of #1 for awhile.
Update 1/22: PG is over 1 billion!! We are tied for first place with SG!!
Recommendation: jump on Aqua so we get it there quicker (besides Aqua is the best CPU source of points).
Update 3/5: Aqua is over 1 billion!! We are now in sole procession of #1 in this Team MM. SG and 2ch have been relegated to #2's and LAF continues to live in #4 land. Pop open your choice of cold ones in celebration!!
500 Million MM
- 1 7 0 L'Alliance Francophone
- 2 6 0 SETI.USA
- 2 6 0 Team 2ch
- 4 5 1 SETI.Germany
- 5 Four teams are in 5th place.
Observation: LAF owns 1st place by themselves and we are in a 2nd place tie with 2ch and eventually SG.
Recommendation: None, no quick/easy solution.
250 Million MM
- 1 10 0 L'Alliance Francophone
- 2 9 0 Czech National Team
- 3 8 0 SETI.Germany
- 3 8 1 SETI.USA
Observation: NEED TO ATTACK!!! Have a chance to move up to 2nd here.
Recommendation: is to
hit GPU Grid.
Update 2/11: GPUGrid is over 250 million!! We are tied for second place at this level!!
100 Million MM
- 1 15 0 L'Alliance Francophone
- 2 13 0 Czech National Team
- 2 13 0 Planet 3DNow!
- 2 13 1 SETI.Germany
- 5 12 0 SETI.USA
- 6 11 0 Canada
Observation: WE ARE SCREWED HERE!!! We have nothing in the hopper. Planet 3D just passed us and SG will reach 14 projects at this level.
All of which leaves us in 5th place!! Recommendation::((b-( We should congratulate 3D on this nice MM.
50 Million MM
- 1 19 0 L'Alliance Francophone
- 2 15 0 SETI.Germany 5 million away from next
- 2 15 1 SETI.USA
- 4 14 0 Planet 3D Now
Observation: Good opportunity to push SG temporarily down to 3rd.
Recommendation:
Get SIMAPP over 50 Million (they have work at the moment).
Update 2/7: SIMAPP is over 50 million!! We are back to being tied for second place with SG @ 16 projects at this level!!
25 Million MM
- 1 23 0 L'Alliance Francophone
- 2 20 0 SETI.Germany 2 million away from next one
- 2 20 0 Planet 3DNow! 1.8 million away from next one
- 4 19 0 SETI.USA YOYO 4.7 Million away from next one
- 5 17 0 Ars Technica
- 5 17 0 BOINC Synergy 2.5 million away
Observation: We are weak here. YoYo is 4.7 million credits away.
Recommendation: Focus on other MM's for now.
Added 2/16: Get on the fast moving AndrOINC project and we can erase this ugly 4th place ranking we have. Update 2/25: AndrOINC is over 50 million!! Ugly 4th place erased but we are only tied for 3rd with SG now. Planet 3DNow! picked up one more also.
10 Million MM
- 1 34 1 L'Alliance Francophone
- 2 28 0 SETI.Germany
- 2 28 2 SETI.USA
- 4 27 1 Ars Technica
Observation: Attack this one! We are in good position to get in front of SG for #2 and with a cushion.
Recommendation: I'll
work Iber but could use some help and looks like Mumps will
do Enigma by himself.
Update 1/22: Enigma is over 10 million!! SG dropped to #3! Update 2/8: Iber is now over 10 million!! We have a 3 project lead over SG for #2 but sit 4 projects behind LAF for first.

Recommendation:
Hit Leiden Update 3/4: Leiden passes 5 million!! We have a 3 project lead over SG for #2 but sit 3 projects behind LAF for first and WUProp.
Update 3/3: WUProp passes 5 million!! We have a 2 project lead over SG for #2 but sit 4 projects behind LAF for first.
1 Million MM
- 1 68 1 SETI.USA Eon 130k away
- 2 67 1 SETI.Germany 100k away
- 3 66 0 L'Alliance Francophone
- 4 59 0 BOINC Synergy
Observation: An MM we're actually in first on!! We
need to defend this one! Recommendation: Critical to
push EON over 1 Million.
Update 2/15: EON is over 1 million!! Added 2/16: Get on the CAS@Home project and we can pick up another 1 million project cushion. Update 3/6: EON is over 1 million!!
END NOTE: I'll do separate posts with recommendations for the Team Mega's for Top 10 in a project and Team #1 when I get a chance.
Thanks for any help you can provide and happy crunching for SUSA.

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
My thoughts, for s***s and giggles:
NJ has some great points up there and some great guidance. I suggested AlmereGrid to the BlackOps folks to get that one closer to the 1M MM (it's not too far away). AndrOINC is also going to go over 1M soon, since the credits there are awesome at the moment. So check that out too...
On 5M MMs: Two additional ones to pay attention to: DistRTGen now has a CUDA app, so if you have a CUDA card and want some quick milestones there, jump on it. Also, my next quest is a 1M in DDM, which will get is remarkably close to the 5M there, so that might be another opportunity if anyone is interested.
Great stuff, NJ, and thanks for posting!!! :cool:

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
Admins: can you put a stickie on this until we get most of these MM's reached? Or tell me how to since I didn't see that option when posting.
Thanks for the input Maxwell especially about AndrOINC since it's so new and I suspect won't be around long since it has only has one purpose.
Just a reminder about the purpose of posting these suggestions. This isn't an attempt to be an exhaustive list. These are projects that are very close to reaching a MM for the team and I just want to make sure they get to the MM and not become a GeneticLife. It also keeps SUSA up in the rankings on particular MM's. Some are stalled with low RAC's for various reasons and just need a little focus/push to get there.
I hope to review the MM situation periodically (quarterly?) to see if any special focus on a project is needed. I might also mention some projects that are in critcal MM levels and will need a long term effort. These long term MM's will be mostly for members looking for a suggestion for a "park and crunch" project they can just sit on.
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
Btw, when NJ says "don't become another Genetic Life" he means that we don't want another project that ends just short of a MM - GenLife was about 150k short of 10M. So this is a plan to hit projects so as not to fall just short of a MM...

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
First update of awesomeness: Thanks to Mumps, the team is now over 10M in Enigma. Way to go team, and thanks for the recent push, Mumps!!!

Good job Mumps and TY Maxwell for the update.

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
Prime Grid crossed into 1 Billion credit land today also. We are now tied with SG for #1 with the most projects reaching 1 Billion. When Aqua reaches 1 Billion in about 40 days or so we'll be sole owners of first place. If people hit Aqua we'll get there sooner.
The original post reflects these 2 MM from today.
SimApp is just under 600K from 50 million but only doing 42K a day. I'm tempted to jump over there to help get it there sooner because Iber is progressing slowly but haven't decided yet. I know people are busy on other projects but if someone(s) will jump to SimApp, I'll join you.

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
And and and, we crossed 1M at AndrOINC today. Yay!!!

Just noticed that. But get the story straight: you guys did that in just one day with 1.2 million just today. Show offs. :)
But can you get to 5 million in a week?

I'm doing my part!
But I think the answer to your question is YES.

Easily. We passed 5M a couple days ago. 39 5M projects now. Yay!
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
And we passed 10M in AndrOINC the other day. That is our 30th in that MM category, and keeps us solidly in 2nd place in that category.
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
First goal reached, SIMAPP is over 50 million. First post has been updated to show the accomplishment. :-bd
Update the next morning: Iber is now over 10 million. Two goals down. :-bd:-bd
Question then becomes EON or Leiden for me to work next?

This might sound ridiculous, but make sure you have Java installed and go run Distributed Data Mining. It's closer than Leiden, but I'm going to pull off it once I hit my 1M (which will be before we get the team 1M). If you can push that, NJ, I'll push Leiden.
Edit: I may have to revise this. I'm testing Enigma right now, and I may have to hit it hard to get the 1M there before the project up and dies. I'll keep you posted.
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
Ok. So it has been decided. I am going to hit Leiden for my next 1M, which means I'll be putting in 900k, which will take us well over the 5M Team MM.
So if folks are paying attention to our needs for Team MMs, other projects could be focused on more...

OK by me. I'll go to 100K or so and stop Leiden and go else where: there are several choices.
Leiden is a project that's not in the top 10 but close so depending on how well you do, I might be back to it.
EON's my next target and it too is a candidate for top ten MM status. And it's so much fun watching little 5 minute WU's crunch, finish and immediately get new WU's.
BTW: GPUGrid just reached 250 million credits. That's our third team MegaMilestone on this hit list. Good work troops.
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
DDM Just passed 5M! Go team!
@NJ: Can you update the first post with more goals? I like keeping an eye on them...
One more day of production like today and we'll hit the 1M mark for eOn. AlmereGrid is close to 1M as well, but I'll be pulling off it when I hit my 100k (maybe some of the eOn folks can help pick up my slack?).
Nice work, folks!
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
i jumped on Eon wt you guys for alittle while :) needed a change anyway ....

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011

Yeah, you're one of the unfortunate casualties on my 1M quest. I can't wait for pendings to start validating as quickly as I'm putting them in there so that I get a real idea of what my overall production is.

Don't set your expectations too high. Credits are poor. But it s a hard MM to get, and that is good, because others will avoid it. So you will have one more than the rest.

I'm pretty much getting what is claimed. Once I max out, I guestimate I can probably do about 25-30k/day. Nowhere near the 80k+/day I was getting with DDM, but better than SETI. ;)

Nice work, folks!
I'll see what I can do. I only expected to do this quarterly and was hoping to hit all goals before making a new list but we're seeing real progress on some of these milestones by mentioning them in this type of post.
WOW!! I see we're now 1 or 2 in a lot of MM categories now!! Really nice work and good team advertising while we re-group. Nice work!!! I'll amend the original post to add a few projects.
I also want to mention (reiterate) that the goal of this type of unified goal post (goal post: that's funny, also nice concept too) is not to identify projects about to reach a Team Mega Milestone but to identify ones that appear to be stagnant, need a boost or ran out of gas just short of a Team MM. So while hitting these projects, other projects might also reach an MM level without the assistance of a "goal post". :-).
Come on Maxwell, you can hang with AlmereGrid a bit longer to make sure it gets over 1 million. [-O< We'll be there in less than 5 days. >:D<
Now the good news: EON has reached the 1 million MM level. This re-enforces the team's lead in this category. I'll update the first post shortly.

Can't do it, for two main reason (both of which are Bok's fault):
1. I have one top-10 ranking in a MM category (or will once the stats run off tonight).
2. I am ahead of zombie67 in one MM category.
These are in the "Boks" category. AlmereGrid will go to above 100k, and less than 101k. And it will sit there for the time being. ;)
Thanks for updating this! Quarterly or every-other month or something of the sort is fine as well. My main issue for prompting you is that we seem to have hit most of the ones you mentioned.
Keep us posted. And my feeling is that, as a general rule, any project under 1M for the team is worth hitting until we get there.
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
I will stay on almeregrid for another 15k, which is when I hit my 250k there. I will be back later to boost it up to the next. But I have some other projects sub-250k that need work first.
Also, Bok just added the missing 2.5M MM to the team stats. We were already #1 there, so that was totally effortless and *sweet*! :cool:

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
why has AlmereGrid site been messed up for like ever...
always a mysql error for to many connections...... anyone???

Yep. It is always overloaded. Just ignore the error messages.

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
And the 'send password' doesn't work and any emails sent to the address on the frontpage never get a response! One of the few projects I've NEVER been able to crunch because I can't get to my account :(

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
Updated: another Team Mega Milestone goal reached. AndrOINC reaches 25M.
I've decided to jump to CAS@Home to work that one for now. Aqua is progressing but you guys have to get that one there.
We now have a foot race on whether Leiden or WUProp will accomplish their goal first on reaching 5 million.

And don't ignore that DistrRTgen should hit 5 mil within 7 days as well. Three fresh Team 5 Mil projects coming up in the next week. Sweet!
Malaria is coming along. I should hit my 2.5 Mil in about 12 more days. With that extra ~14% the team has thrown in we should hit that 10 Mil in about 18 days.
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
WUProp's 5 million goal finally reached.
Three goals left and all are close.

Awesome! That's great news!
And now that VP is out of work again, my Leiden production should be back up ~10k/day or so from where it has been...
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
Leiden's over 5 million. Thanks Maxwell.
That's 2 Team MM in two days. If Aqua doesn't go over until after midnight then we'll have 3 in 3 days.
Then I (we) just need CAS@Home to get over Sunday for a quad-fecta (kind of).

Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
I've got to say SZTAKI feels like a float trip I had in Texas once. The wind was blowing us upstream. When the water was actually moving forward it was too shallow to float across. We were either rowing or carrying the canoe just to move forward. That's what SZTAKI feels like, twice the work for half the gain.
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
And don't forget that AlmereGrid will head over 1M in probably two days. So there's another one. And DistRTgen is less than a week away from the 5M stone...
Yay for recent stones, team!
-
Re: Could use some help for these team MegaMilestones: Jan 2011
I think this team will be strongest with the smaller MMs. We can get a good lead and then keep it.

I would probably agree that. Something tells me that Team 100M is going to be our arch-nemesis... :(( :p

Last time I checked, there is no value difference between the different MMs. ;)
In fast, the bigger MMs are easier to get, in a way. One can always assign more resources to get them. But the smaller are harder, or even impossible, if the project(s) is dead. No way to may up ground.
