Implicit Synchronization

• Two commands implicitly execute a zone-wide barrier:
• step - implicitly causes the thread to block until all nodes within the zone are ready to step (this behavior can be disabled with ``setfield /post sync_before_step 0'')
• reset - implicitly causes the thread to block until all nodes have reset
• These commands require that all nodes in the zone participate, thus the barrier.
