Editorial policy
How QCEV99 sources, checks, corrects and discloses.
QCEV99 exists to make processor architecture easier to understand without sacrificing technical accuracy.
Primary sources first
Whenever practical, architecture claims are checked against:
- ISA specifications
- processor documentation
- academic papers
- compiler documentation
- conference presentations
- source code
- reproducible experiments
Separate fact from interpretation
Articles distinguish between documented behavior, measured behavior, author interpretation and speculation.
Benchmarks need context
Performance measurements state the relevant information:
- processor
- compiler
- compiler version
- flags
- operating system
- workload
- input size
- methodology
A benchmark without context is rarely useful.
Corrections
Technical mistakes are corrected transparently. Material corrections include an editorial note explaining what changed.
AI-assisted work
AI tools may assist with research organization, editing, code exploration or production workflow. Technical claims are still checked against appropriate sources before publication. Unsupported generated claims are not published as fact.
Commercial independence
QCEV99 sells its own software and may eventually use advertising, sponsorships or affiliate relationships. Commercial relationships are clearly disclosed and do not determine editorial conclusions.
