[cuda]异步内存拷贝中的默认同步

Memcpy

In the reference documentation, each memcpy function is categorized as synchronous or asynchronous, corresponding to the definitions below.

Synchronous

• All transfers involving Unified Memory regions are fully synchronous with respect to the host.
• For transfers from pageable host memory to device memory, a stream sync is performed before the copy is initiated. The function will return once the pageable buffer has been copied to the staging memory for DMA transfer to device memory, but the DMA to final destination may not have completed.
• For transfers from pinned host memory to device memory, the function is synchronous with respect to the host.
• For transfers from device to either pageable or pinned host memory, the function returns only once the copy has completed.
• For transfers from device memory to device memory, no host-side synchronization is performed.
• For transfers from any host memory to any host memory, the function is fully synchronous with respect to the host.

Asynchronous

• For transfers from device memory to pageable host memory, the function will return only once the copy has completed.
• For transfers from any host memory to any host memory, the function is fully synchronous with respect to the host.
• For all other transfers, the function is fully asynchronous. If pageable memory must first be staged to pinned memory, this will be handled asynchronously with a worker thread.

按照上述的参考文献，从 device 往 host 拷贝数据，如果 host 为 pageable，那么即使使用 cudaMemcpyAsync ，也是同步的，不是异步的，测试程序如下:

#include <cuda_runtime.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   
    void *d_ptr =
