To make PostgreSQL _really_ work in an environment like that, there
would have to be some way of differentiate "local" shared memory versus
"remote", because the speed of accessing remote shmem would be much
lower than local shmem.  What would be the gain versus have multi-master
replication?

ISTM horizontal partitioning of tables can give similar results without
a so different architecture.
