High performance computation is an effective approach for scientific computation in the fields of water resources and hydropower engineering.A high-performance computer is the base and platform for such computation.It is presented in this paper how to upgrade the high-performance computer for water resources and hydropower system based on the original one in China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research.The upgraded platform was tested in terms of computing performance in serial and parallel computation,computing efficiency and computing index by applying international conventional testing benchmarks,such as LinPACK,LLCBench and NPB.The results of test was analyzed,which show that the platform possesses a high efficiency in parallel computation and good capability to support explanting professional software in the field of water resources and hydropower engineering.
