Different computers?  What kind of shared memory was there supposed to be and
and what was its memory model supposed to be?

This sounds more like distributed programming and the newsgroups that discuss that
might be better.   Are you using some kind of distributed programming environment
and what is it?  Also, what is it your routine is doing that only one program can
invoke it at a time, assuming that has any meaning?
