// should perform processing of data at device_pointer only in

// callback invocation with the same stream).
//
// Two diagrams below describe operation in two possible scenarios, depending

// scheduling a single asynchronous launch of
// Kernel<<..., stream_to_use>>(device_pointer,
// size_of_batch,
// offset_of_batch)
//
// a. Copying from page-locked memory
// In this case no copy on the host-side is necessary, and this method just
// schedules a bunch of interleaved memory copies and callback invocations:
//
// cudaStreamSynchronize(context->DefaultStream());
// - Iteration #0:
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_, from, K * sizeof(T), H->D, stream_0)
// - callback(values_gpu_, K, 0, stream_0)
// - Iteration #1:
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_ + K, from + K, K * sizeof(T), H->D,
// stream_1)
// - callback(values_gpu_ + K, K, K, stream_1)
// - Iteration #2:
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_, from + 2 * K, K * sizeof(T), H->D,
// stream_0)
// - callback(values_gpu_, K, 2 * K, stream_0)
// - Iteration #3:
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_ + K, from + 3 * K, K * sizeof(T), H->D,
// stream_1)
// - callback(values_gpu_ + K, K, 3 * K, stream_1)
// ...
// - Iteration #i:
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_ + (i % 2) * K, from + i * K, K *
// sizeof(T), H->D, stream_(i % 2))
// - callback(values_gpu_ + (i % 2) * K, K, i * K, stream_(i % 2)
// ...
// cudaStreamSynchronize(stream_0)
// cudaStreamSynchronize(stream_1)
//
// This sequence of calls results in following activity on gpu (assuming that
// kernel invoked by callback takes less time than host-to-device copy):
// +-------------------+-------------------+
// | Stream #0 | Stream #1 |
// +-------------------+-------------------+
// | Copy host->device | |
// | | |
// | | |
// +-------------------+-------------------+
// | Kernel | Copy host->device |

// | Copy host->device | Kernel |
// | +-------------------+

// +-------------------+-------------------+

// | ... |
// +---------------------------------------+
//
// b. Copying from regular memory
// In this case a copy from regular memory to page-locked memory is required
// in order to get asynchrnonous operation. Because pinned memory on host-side
// is reused, additional synchronization is required. On each iteration method
// the following actions are performed:
// - Wait till previous copy operation in stream is completed
// - Copy batch of values from input array into pinned memory
// - Asynchronously launch host-to-device copy
// - Setup event for synchronization on copy completion
// - Invoke callback (that launches kernel asynchronously)
//
// Invocations are performed with the following arguments
// cudaStreamSynchronize(context->DefaultStream());
// - Iteration #0:
// - cudaEventSynchronize(copy_finished_0)
// - std::copy_n(from, K, values_cpu_pinned_)
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_, values_cpu_pinned_, K * sizeof(T), H->D,
// stream_0)
// - cudaEventRecord(copy_finished_0, stream_0)
// - callback(values_gpu_, K, 0, stream_0)
// - Iteration #1:
// - cudaEventSynchronize(copy_finished_1)
// - std::copy_n(from + K, K, values_cpu_pinned_ + K)
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_ + K, values_cpu_pinned_ + K, K *
// sizeof(T), H->D, stream_1)
// - cudaEventRecord(copy_finished_1, stream_1)
// - callback(values_gpu_ + K, K, K, stream_1)
// - Iteration #2:
// - cudaEventSynchronize(copy_finished_0)
// - std::copy_n(from + 2 * K, K, values_cpu_pinned_)
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_, values_cpu_pinned_, K * sizeof(T), H->D,
// stream_0)
// - cudaEventRecord(copy_finished_0, stream_0)
// - callback(values_gpu_, K, 2 * K, stream_0)
// - Iteration #3:
// - cudaEventSynchronize(copy_finished_1)
// - std::copy_n(from + 3 * K, K, values_cpu_pinned_ + K)
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_ + K, values_cpu_pinned_ + K, K *
// sizeof(T), H->D, stream_1)
// - cudaEventRecord(copy_finished_1, stream_1)
// - callback(values_gpu_ + K, K, 3 * K, stream_1)
// ...
// - Iteration #i:
// - cudaEventSynchronize(copy_finished_(i % 2))
// - std::copy_n(from + i * K, K, values_cpu_pinned_ + (i % 2) * K)
// - cudaMemcpyAsync(values_gpu_ + (i % 2) * K, values_cpu_pinned_ + (i %
// 2) * K, K * sizeof(T), H->D, stream_(i % 2))
// - cudaEventRecord(copy_finished_(i % 2), stream_(i % 2))
// - callback(values_gpu_ + (i % 2) * K, K, i * K, stream_(i % 2))
// ...
// cudaStreamSynchronize(stream_0)
// cudaStreamSynchronize(stream_1)
//
// This sequence of calls results in following activity on cpu and gpu
// (assuming that kernel invoked by callback takes less time than
// host-to-device copy and copy in cpu memory, and copy in cpu memory is
// faster than host-to-device copy):
