ROCSHMEM_MALLOC
---------------
.. cpp:function:: __host__ void *rocshmem_malloc(size_t size)
:param size: Memory allocation size in bytes
:returns: A pointer to the allocated memory on the symmetric heap;
If a valid allocation cannot be made, it returns NULL
**Description:**
Allocate memory of ``size`` bytes from the symmetric heap.
This is a collective operation and must be called by all PEs.
ROCSHMEM_FREE
-------------
.. cpp:function:: __host__ void rocshmem_free(void *ptr)
:param ptr: Pointer to previously allocated memory on the symmetric heap
:returns: None
**Description:**
Free a memory allocation from the symmetric heap.
This is a collective operation and must be called by all PEs.
