Personal Crunching Goals for 2015

[Maxwell]

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)

[FourOh]

Great idea! Here are mine, to be updated later I'm sure

GPU Grid & Prime Grid to 100M (1Jan: 88%/12%) Completed GPUGrid 1/21, PrimeGrid 10/1
MilkyWay & Moo Wrapper to 100M & retired with a Bozo (1Jan: 91%/57%) Completed MilkyWay 1/13, Moo Wrapper 2/22
Einstein to 10M, 25M, 50M, 100M (1Jan: 86%) Completed 10M 3/28/15; 25M 5/9/15; 50M 7/13/15
SETI@Home to 2.5M, 5M, 10M Completed 2.5M 6/24/15; 5M 8/3/15, 10M 9/27/15

Convert 2nd star to 10k hr Completed 8/27
Convert 5th star to 1k hr, 5k hr Completed 1k 5/23, 5k 9/6

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

[DrBackJack]

All gold badges by the end of the year.(excluding BU and PG)

[Duke of Buckingham]

All politicians arrested on my country.

Worst that a ex-Prime Minister arested is on Prime Minister in functions free.

And a lot of BOINC Badges of course.

Very Crazy Duke

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.

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 is 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.

Hmmm...and i could've gotten more hours than that but the wife keeps turning of her (my) computer. Ok i guess it's too low then. 2000 hours/day. This is actually pretty steep since to even hit 1000 hours/day will require major electrical upgrades to the house.

I just want to stay ahead of Sphynx everything else is secondary

Setting the bar pretty low aren't we Bryan?
