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.
