Revision as of 20:55, 15 December 2018
Each component will have a reference implementation with a black box efficiency and cost rating. Reference implementations will be subject to constant improvement, with new contributions welcome from any interested party at any time. Contributions must be well-documented and repeatable.
- Any efficiency improvement of at least 2% with no more than a 10% cost increase will automatically qualify to be the new reference standard.
- Any cost reduction of at least 0.5% with no loss in efficiency will automatically qualify to be the new reference standard.
- Higher-cost efficiency improvements will be accepted for review by the board, who will consider the cost impact on the success of the project.
- Lower-cost improvements that result in a "statistically insignificant" efficiency loss will be accepted for review by the board.
- Cross-component concerns (eg, amount of storage capability required) will be considered by the board as needed.
- Requirements are subject to change by the board at any time as needed.
