7. An apparatus, comprising: a memory configured to store a plurality of translation entries, each translation entry from the plurality of translation entries including a virtual memory identifier, a physical memory identifier, a first access identifier, a second access identifier, a shared indicator, a first access type associated with the first access identifier, and a second access type associated with the second access identifier; a selection module operatively coupled to the memory, the selection module configured to select a translation entry from the plurality of translation entries based on a comparison of a virtual memory identifier associated with a software module at a processor and a virtual memory identifier of the translation entry; and an access module operatively coupled to the selection module, the access module configured to output a signal associated with a physical memory identifier of the translation entry in response to an output signal from the selection module if a shared indicator of the translation entry is associated with a group identifier class and a group identifier of the software module is associated with an access identifier of the translation entry.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein: the selection module is configured to receive the virtual memory identifier associated with the software module from a processor within a distributed switch fabric, the processor configured to define a transmission path within the switch fabric based on a data set stored at a memory location associated with the physical memory identifier of the translation entry; and the access module is configured to receive the group identifier of the software module from the processor.
