Tahir,
There are a variety of ways to create shared memory segments. I am not a
Fortran expert, but do believe this is something that needs to be done from c/c++.
In Open MPI we use the mmap set of routines to create the shared memory segments
we use.

How can we create "our own shared memory segment?" Do you mean Linux System
calls? I see shmget routine, for example, but it is a C routine. Do we have
to write a fortran interface to use it?
