Abstract
In this paper we outline a technique to carry out parallel computations for objects which exhibit a high degree of symmetry. We describe an algorithm used for the computation of the envelope of a spherical virus with icosahedral symmetry and discuss its performance. The algorithm is quite general and it is advantageous if folding back is computationally less intensive than the original computation.
