:ref:`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.
C or C++:
#include <mpp/shmem.h>
void shmem_finalize(void)Fortran:
include 'mpp/shmem.fh'
CALL SHMEM_FINALIZE:ref:`shmem_finalize` is a collective operation that ends the OpenSHMEM portion of a program previously initialized by :ref:`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 :ref:`shmem_finalize` so that pending communication is completed, and no resources can be released until all PEs have entered :ref:`shmem_finalize`. :ref:`shmem_finalize` must be the last OpenSHMEM library call encountered in the OpenSHMEM portion of a program. A call to :ref:`shmem_finalize` will release any resources initialized by a corresponding call to :ref:`shmem_init`. All processes and threads that represent the PEs will still exist after the call to :ref:`shmem_finalize` returns, but they will no longer have access to any resources that have been released.
