vtkDataWriter and vtkDataReader have a method which tells them to write to/read from a buffer rather than to a file. A plugin that makes use of that is probably the quickest path to get started. Alternatively, XDMF has a distributed shared memory option which was developed for the same purpose.
In either case you will also need some sort of synchronization so that the reader never tries to read a partially written buffer. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
