 OD: I have like zero experience with GPU so hopefully someone else can answer
 this. But the way I see it, hopefully it could work by having some dataset
 object that would take care of storing its input data into a shared variable.

+OD (continued): After thinking a bit more about it, I am not sure that would
+work. I definitely need to look at some code doing it to get a better
+understanding of it, but my feeling is that you need your learner to be
+written in a specific way to achieve this, in which case it may be up to the
+learner to take its input data and store it into a shared variable.
