In DIPC's case, place your data in System V shared memories and treat them exactly like global variables. You can also use System V semaphores and messages. Write your application as if you are targeting a SMP computer (just don't use fork(), Linux does not support a remote fork() yet). When done, you can run the same executable code in a SMP, as well as in a cluster (no need to modify and compile the sources a bit). To see some examples, you can download the DIPC package from wallybox.cei.net/pub/dipc by anonymous FTP.
If you don't like this model, then don't use it.
