Are you really thinking of having a chunk of shared memory between two
computers? This would probably require a certain amount of specialised
hardware -- I do not expect it will be cheap. (Note that Storage Area
Networks are solving a similar problem -- one filesystem, two or more
machines -- and are very expensive.)

What is much easier is to use a network of some sort to share selected
amounts of data among machines, similar to web servers, ftp servers,
etc.
