+\begin{Discussion}
+Only those grid variables which have communication enabled
+will be synchronised. This is usually equivalent to the variables
+which have storage assigned, unless communication has been explicitly
+turned off with a call to \code{CCTK\_DisableGroupComm}.
+
+Note that an alternative to calling \code{CCTK\_SyncGroupI} explicitly
+from within a thorn, is to use the \code{SYNC} keyword in a thorns
+\code{schedule.ccl} file to indicate which groups of variables need
+to be synchronised on exit from the routine. This latter method is
+the preferred method from synchronising variables.
+
+Note that \code{CCTK\_SyncGroupI} is a collective operation, so in the
+multiprocessor case you {\em must\/} call this function in parallel on
+{\em each\/} processor, passing the same \code{group\_name} argument.
