We present the first complete 3-dimensional simulations of the core-collapse of a massive star from the onset of collapse to the resultant supernova explosion. We compare the structure of the convective instabilities that occur in 3-dimensional models with those of past 2-dimensional simulations. The simulations use a parallel tree-code with smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Our largest simulation to date uses over 3 million particles, and required several weeks of CPU time on a 256 processor partition of the IBM SP computer at NERSC.
