Abstract
The paper demonstrates some of the benefits that high performance computing has to offer geographers. It reports the results of porting and then using very large spatial interaction models on the Cray T3D parallel supercomputer in modelling and spatial optimisation applications that would otherwise have been judged computationally infeasible.
