From this page - which, along with a whole raft of other charts (see the link in the FAQ's as well as on the CA SekeRob's signature), is from where.
----------------------------------------BTW, these charts are produced by SekeRob, as a 'best guess' (i.e. estimates CAN and quite often DO change), and are by no means official, but which are an enormous help to us crunchers plan our badge hunting levels.  |

On my quest to ruby for C4CW, I have made it to 100 days (only 80 days needed to make it to the shiny red badge
---------------------------------------- !!!). The project is currently showing 141 days left... I have to make it  .CJSL Gotta crunch.... |

cjslman, if you put all your resources into it, you should be just fine. As HCMD is proving, there will be a lot of clean up beyond the 141 days on the clock. Keep crunching!

On March 5th we had 174 days left, and today we have 141 days left (per Sekerob’s chart ).
A new “Water” project called "Computing for Sustainable Water" is set to be launched on WCG on April 16th. I will be curious to see how the lunch of this new project will affect C4CW. I guess time will tell. Information on the new project can be found at: http://faculty.virginia.edu/CSML/projects.html Computing for Sustainable Water The Computing for Sustainable Water (CFSW) project is one of three water-related projects selected to run on the IBM World Community Grid. This project evolved from the UVa Bay Game as a very detailed, simulation-only model of the Chesapeake Bay. Not a game, the CFSW model simulates over 34,000 spatial areas; 1,069 river and stream segments; and 4 million households over a 20-year period on a monthly basis. The model explores the potential outcomes of various practices ("Best Management Practices") on the nutrient loads reaching and impacting Bay health. The CFSW project will launch publicly on April 16, 2012 and will be available for execution on the World Community Grid, a network of nearly 2 million contributed computers. The model runs in the background of these volunteered computers using otherwise idle cycles and not interfering with the owner's applications. There will be over 1.3 million experiments distributed to computers on the World Community Grid, each requiring approximately 7 hours of computing time. If this work were done on the UVa Cross-Campus Computing Grid (XCG), it would take about 90 years to complete; with the power of the IBM World Community Grid, it will require less than one year.

rewood1000... yes, if I put all my resources into it, I could easily make it (would only need 40 days at the most), but... I have other milestones to chase after:
----------------------------------------- Turn HCC to ruby (I already have 105 days) - Turn HFCC to ruby (I already have 125 days) I think that if I balance the loads correctly, I can make all of them. That's the fun of it... the planning and strategy to make all of the proposed goals. CJSL Keep on crunching... |

That's kinda cool. Tho for me personally, I'm still hoping to be able to get sapphire for this project, though now I'm not sure I'll be able to do it, and hit sapphire in the rest that I want. I might not be doing this new water project if it'll take less than a year total for the entire project. The way I'm figuring, I still need 137 days (+/- 10 days) real time to hit sapphire in C4CW. If too many more people crunch this project, it'll whittle away at the total time left on the project itself, and I won't make it. But, that's how things go. LOL!

Well, I'll tell you that I was as happy as a monkey with a peanut machine by just making it to gold... but since HCC & HFCC got extended with more days, I thought "ah, heck, let's make a run for ruby"... So that's where I am. Unless something more happens (like either of C4CW, HCC or HFCC get extended to 3 years or more), I don't think I can go after the sapphire... I just don't have enough CPU power.
----------------------------------------Dang... this crunching is fun !!! CJSL |

cjslman, I'm sure you'll eventually make it to Sapphire in one of the projects - just keep plugging away...
----------------------------------------Yes, I know that there's a lot of projects to choose from (all of them worthy), although there are a couple that'll be around for years to come (FA@H & HPF2), so there's always time... At least we've now got the ability to plan and juggle our resources around |
