This example is not verlet cloth, but I think the basic premise may help you. I have a fiddle that uses the GPUComputationRender to accomplish some spring physics on a point cloud. I think you could adapt it to your needs.

What you need is more information. You'll need fixed references to the cloth's original shape (as if it were a flat board) as well as the force currently being exerted on any of those points (by gravity + wind + structural integrity or whatever else), which then gives you that point's current position. Those point references to its original shape in combination with the forces are what will give your cloth a memory instead of flinging apart as it has been.

Here, for example, is my spring physics shader which the GPUComputationRenderer uses to compute the point positions in my visualization. The tOffsets in this case are the coordinates that give the cloud a permanent memory of its original shape - they never change. It is a DataTexture I add to the uniforms at the beginning of the program. Various forces like the the mass, springConstant, gravity, and damping also remain consistent and live in the shader. tPositions are the vec4 coords that change (two of the coords record current position, the other two record current velocity):
