NAME

       shmem_fence  -  Provides  a separate ordering on the sequence of puts issued by this PE to
       each destination PE.

SYNOPSIS

       C or C++:
       #include <mpp/shmem.h>

       void shmem_fence(void);

       Fortran:
       INCLUDE "mpp/shmem.fh"

       CALL SHMEM_FENCE

DESCRIPTION

       The shmem_fence() routine provides an ordering on the put operations issued by the calling
       PE prior to the call to shmem_fence() relative to the put operations issued by the calling
       PE following the call to shmem_fence().  It guarantees that all such prior put  operations
       issued  to  a  particular destination PE are fully written to the symmetric memory of that
       destination PE, before any such following put operations to that same destination  PE  are
       written  to  the  symmetric  memory  of  that  destination  PE.  Note that the ordering is
       provided separately on the sequences  of  puts  from  the  calling  PE  to  each  distinct
       destination  PE.  The  shmem_quiet() routine should be used instead if ordering of puts is
       required when multiple destination PEs are involved.

NOTES

       The shmem_quiet function should be called if ordering of puts  is  desired  when  multiple
       remote PEs are involved.
