rocSHMEM documentation
****************************

The ROCm OpenSHMEM (rocSHMEM) is an intra-kernel networking library that provides GPU-centric networking through an `OpenSHMEM-like <http://www.openshmem.org/site/>`_ interface. It simplifies application code complexity and enables finer communication and computation overlap than traditional host-driven networking. rocSHMEM uses a single symmetric heap (SHEAP) allocated to GPU memories. For more information, see :doc:`introduction`

The rocSHMEM public repository is located at `<https://github.com/ROCm/rocSHMEM>`_.
