NAME

       shmem_finalize  -  A  collective  operation  that releases resources used by the OpenSHMEM
       library.  This only terminates the  Open-SHMEM  portion  of  a  program,  not  the  entire
       program.

SYNOPSIS

       C or C++:
       #include <mpp/shmem.h>
       void shmem_finalize(void);

       Fortran:
       include 'mpp/shmem.fh'
       CALL SHMEM_FINALIZE

DESCRIPTION

       shmem_finalize  is  a  collective  operation  that ends the OpenSHMEM portion of a program
       previously initialized by shmem_init and releases resources used by the OpenSHMEM library.
       This  collective  operation  requires  all  PEs  to  participate  in the call. There is an
       implicit global barrier in shmem_finalize so that pending communication is completed,  and
       no  resources  can  be released until all PEs have entered shmem_finalize.  shmem_finalize
       must be the last OpenSHMEM library call encountered in the OpenSHMEM portion of a program.
       A call to shmem_finalize will release any resources initialized by a corresponding call to
       shmem_init. All processes and threads that represent the PEs will still  exist  after  the
       call  to shmem_finalize returns, but they will no longer have access to any resources that
       have been released.
