Personal Crunching Goals for 2015

[FourOh]

I've been knocking out my goals at a steady pace, and adding new ones to keep it interesting. I'll be on Primegrid with CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs for about another month, then steer all GPUs to Einstein while I wrap up SRBase goals and move on to some of the tougher ones like 1M at Rosetta & CAS. Good luck everyone!

GPU Grid & Prime Grid to 100M (1Jan: 88%/12%) Completed GPUGrid 1/21
MilkyWay & Moo Wrapper to 100M & retired with a Bozo (1Jan: 91%/57%) Completed MilkyWay 1/13, Moo Wrapper 2/22
Einstein to 10M, 25M (1Jan: 86%) Completed 10M 3/28/15
Yafu, Asteroids, Primaboinca, Cosmo & Universe to 1M w/ TeraBoks (1Jan: 91%/72%/69%/64%/47%) Completed Universe, 1/12 Cosmo 1/25, Yafu 1/31, Primaboinca 2/9, Asteroids 2/20
Rosetta to 250k/1M (1Jan: 70%) Completed 250k 1/4/15
NRG, CAS, OProject to 250k/1M if work is available
4th 5k hr star on WUProp (1Jan: 2/20, 25Mar 50% Complete)
Convert 2nd star to 10k hr
Convert 5th star to 1k hr
2 Yr Badges on WCG Ebola, Genome Mysteries(1Jan: 13%/96%) Completed UGM 1/5, Ebola 2/24
All active PrimeGrid apps to 100k/5k hours (1Jan: 5/17)
All SRBase apps to 100k/5k hours

My changes of note:

# of projects with credit (exported): was 158, is now 161, +3

MMs: 1M rank was #2, is now #1 (tied). Even if only temporary, SUCK IT Ralfy!

WUProp: I kinda screwed this up. For 2015 start, I only included the first 199 apps for some reason. No point in more than 100 anyway at the time, as is showed only 5 stars. Whatever the case, I now have 337 apps, which results in 13 stars. Very close to 14.

Z, it looks like your nemesis may be tied up on SRBASE for about 3 weeks trying to be the first to 100 million on that project. Use that info in your attack plan.

I don't have specific goals (yet). But let me make a suggestion to everyone:

On January 1st, take a snapshot of all your stats!

Go to Free-DC and dump it into a spreadsheet. Do the same with your wuprop hours (which you can also do from Free-DC if you turn on export).

Then at the end of the year, you can measure your accomplishments. It will also allow you to know how much you contributed to the team's FB achievements. For example, if the team added 20M to WCG, how much of this was you? Now you can figure it out.

But if you don't take that snapshot, no way to know.

Reminder! Take your snapshots today!

I'd like to get all 5 stars to the 100K level. And to make it more challenging, I'd also like the top 20 to all be at the 500K mark.

Part a) 22% complete at the start of the new year
Part b) 35% complete already

Hmmm... I obviously didn't focus very well on these stated goals.

Part a) 54% complete starting 2016
Part b) 65% complete

At least I already have goals set for 2016 then.

I want to retire and and make crunching my FULL time job. Can that be a goal?

[Al]

Yes

no probably not. I think you will find that everyone you know suddenly knows you are retired and have nothing to do, and they make it their goal to make sure you never run out of something to do, for someone. You will wonder how you ever had time to go to work.

Great, now I'm afraid of retirement.
That's 1 yes and 1 no. Anyone else?
