We present an evaluation of a simulated cosmic ray shower, based on \sc geant4 and \sc top-c, which tracks all the particles in the shower. \sc top-c (Task Oriented Parallel C) provides a framework for parallel algorithm development which makes tractable the problem of following each particle. This method is compared with a simulation program which employs the Hillas thinning algorithm.
