13. A method, comprising: defining a group identifier associated with a shared memory accessible to a first software module and a second software module, at least a portion of the first software module being stored at a first memory portion accessible to a processor, at least a portion of the second software module being stored at a second memory portion accessible to the processor; associating the group identifier with the first software module and the second software module; provisioning a third memory portion as the shared memory; storing (1) a first access identifier and a first access type associated with the group identifier, and (2) a second access identifier and a second access type associated with a process identifier, at a translation entry within a translation module operatively coupled to the processor; receiving, after the storing, from the first software module a request for access to the shared memory, the first software module being associated with the process identifier; and providing to the translation module the group identifier, the access type associated with the group identifier, and the process identifier.
