Regional researchers wishing to use the Coeus cluster for non-commercial scientific research may request a two-year Stakeholder Membership. Stakeholder Membership is continued for anyone contributing to the vitality of PICS in one of the following ways:
Publication preprints are to be submitted to the PICS Preprint Archive maintained by the Portland State University Library.
- Contribute to the addition of PICS resources.
This may be accomplished, for example, by contributions of upgraded compute nodes or storage servers, or by joint or individual grant proposals which include budgets for purchasing additions or upgrades to PICS equipment.
Membership may also be continued by demonstrating other contributions to PICS. These policies are subject to revision at any time the current resources become oversubscribed.
