Shared Memory with Microsoft Hekaton Does the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 In-Memory Engine supports Shared Memory access like Oracle TimesTen? I only found that there was a protocol with this name in SqlServer2008  but i found nothing for SqlServer2014 

thanks
Hekaton does not support direct memory access from client applications. In theory an application could access the same memory space that SQL Server uses using OS memory sections. That is not implemented, though.

The shared memory transport has nothing to do with this. Indeed, it uses a shared memory region to transfer data. But it still runs the normal TDS protocol (including the data conversion and serialization that this involves).
