As long as your OpenCL implementation allows more than one process to access the compute device simultaneously, I don't see why this shouldn't work. I just made a basic test of this using nVidia's OpenCL implementation by running two PyViennaCL processes at once, and nothing went awry. ViennaCL has fairly loose object ownership requirements, so I expect you'd even be able to pass objects between the processes as long as the pointers were maintained. I'd be interested to hear how this goes.
