keras layer and shared memory











up vote

I am using a very heavy layer in different keras models (a word embedding layer). Since I want to run all models in parallel, I would need to have the layer loaded in memory once for each running process. This is why I was thinking in using a shared memory block for that layer which could be used by all the processes and only one copy of the layer would be loaded in memory at the same time. The layer is not trainable, so only read operations should be done on it. Is it possible? If so, does Keras include something to facilitate this task? Thanks!
