I don't know any publicly available shmem validation or benchmark suites. Not surprising since there isn't really an official shmem spec to begin with, although there is hope in that domain.

Separately, does anyone here happen to know whether shmem applications
care about independent progress?  That is, if rank A is puting and geting
to rank B, and rank B is off in application code, do the puts and gets
have to take effect?

Yes, most shmem codes do assume truly one-sided operations.
