In the true spirit of Ubuntu (an African philosophy whereby a person is a person only through other people), the ethos of the CHPC is to harness a vibrant high-end computing ecosystem through strong partnerships. Through collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, the CHPC and its community are able to link up with technology missions in the National R&D Strategy in order to jointly address a wide range of notable challenges. Stakeholders, general users and members of the CHPC have self-assembled into Special Interest Groups (SIGs) involving 10 research areas. Several multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional collaborations resulted from this partnership framework.
