    Personal Crunching Goals for 2015

    I wanted to start a thread where we could all document our crunching goals for the upcoming year. Then, I'd like to periodically return to it to see how we did. Though you can certainly put whatever you want in here, I'd suggest putting down specific, difficult, and quantifiable goals.

    Here are mine:

    45 1M projects (currently 34)
    1 25k hr star on WUProp
    4 10k hr stars on WUProp
    100M GPU Grid
    250M Colltatz/PG (one of those two)

    Re: Personal Crunching Goals for 2015

    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!

    no retirement is great, as long as you use caution. you need 1 civic thing to do, you need to have some time to help family, and you need to spend the rest of your time doing what you want to do. I spend 7 or so months at the lake doing what ever I want. just do what you want to but control the demands that others make on me.

    Very sound advice.

    Re: Personal Crunching Goals for 2015

    I didn't have any particular goals, other than to try to take #1 from Ralfy for the 1M MM. We're currently tied for #1. So that's something.

    Here are the changes for my stats over the past year:

    Mega Milestones:
    - It looks like there were 7 new projects this year (that exported stats). The count for all my MMs from 1k through 1M increased by 7.
    - My ranks remained the same, except for 1M (from second to tied for first), 100M (from 2nd to 3rd), 500M (from 117th to 60th), 1B (from 49th to 67th).

    WUProp:
    - At the beginning of the year, they issued only the single badge. So many of us were just working on improving the top 100 apps, because that is all that would show. But once they added multiple badges, many of us scrambled to add/increase the other apps as possible.
    - If they issued multiple badges at the start of the year, it would have shown this:

    - This is how I ended the year:

    I updated my goals several times throughout the year... but generally hit my marks. I suspended my Einstein 100M goal in order to go for 10M on Albert, which has had steady work for a while. Lately I've been working on 5 year WCG badges, and I have a few other things in mind for 2016. I guess that post should be coming soon

    Re: Personal Crunching Goals for 2015

    I don't really have any specific project goals i can name that i know won't change 100 times before the end (or the start) of next year. But my #1 goal i have right now is to build enough additional computers to be able to get 1000 WuProp hours per day in any given project that has the work available

    Bah! Set your sites higher than that! That's only like 41 2/3 cores. You're probably most of the way there already anways!

    EDIT: WuProp Combined Hours Yesterday: 584.88

    So yes, you have set your bar too low.
