Take a look at this example:

http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/sample_app_ug/multi_process.html#basic-multi-process-example

IIRC, it uses rings to send messages back and forth between the cores.
The code is available with the dpdk source, so it should serve as a
good starting point to see how to set up the shared memory and use it.

Does that help?
