Is this in some released version of your code?
Are you allocating space for loaded hashes per-salt or for all at once?
In the latter case, how does your code know which hashes to compare
against (for the current salt only)?

I am fine with that, but I don't see why you want to be allocating a
copy of the hashes on CPU when you need that copy on GPU. Is this just
an intermediate step, before you transfer the hashes to GPU?

What would you be removing "static" from, exactly?
I think it'd help if you refer to your current implementation more
specifically, so that we discuss these proposed changes while looking at
the actual code.
Thanks,
