Subject: Shared Memory on GPGPU?

Hello,

I am wondering, whether it is possible to use shared data on GPGPU, meaning you have some data you push into the GPGPU's RAM and then you start the computation in the same program. The first computation finishes, then you run a second program that starts another computation, but it does not upload new input data to RAM. It uses the data that first program stored in GPGPU RAM for its computation. Is that possible?

If it is, does JtR support that?
