+    non-blocking \OPR{Put} and non-blocking \OPR{put-with-signal} operations 
+    issued by a \ac{PE}. Local completion guarantees the reusability of the
+    \VAR{source} buffers associated with a \ac{PE} issuing the operation. 
+    Local completion does not guarantee any ordering and/or delivery of 
+    completion with any visibility guarantees on all \acp{PE}. 
+    Return from \FUNC{shmem\_local\_complete} just guarantees that the data has
+    been copied out of the \VAR{source} array on all previously posted
+    non-blocking \OPR{Put} and non-blocking \OPR{put-with-signal} operations
+    in the local \ac{PE}. Memory ordering routines as supported in
+    Section~\ref{subsec:memory_order} is still required to provide
