I’m [not aware](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#context) of any method to do this. I generally can’t comment on future plans on these forums. The only “sharing” that is possible is via [CUDA IPC](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-runtime-api/group __CUDART__ DEVICE.html#group __CUDART__ DEVICE), which does not facilitate an external process to run cupti calls.

You can make feature requests through the [bug reporting mechanism](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-to-report-a-bug/67911).
