<!-- ================================ DESCRIPTION -->
<refsect1 id="description"><title>Description</title>
<para>
<function>async_work_group_strided_copy</function> performs an async gather of
<varname>num_gentypes</varname> <type>gentype</type> elements
from <varname>src</varname> to <varname>dst</varname>. The <varname>src_stride</varname>
is the stride in elements for each <type>gentype</type> element read from
<varname>src</varname>. The async
gather is performed by all work-items in a work-group and this built-in
function must therefore be encountered by
all work-items in a work-group executing
the kernel with the same argument values;
otherwise the results are undefined.
This rule applies to ND-ranges implemented with uniform
and non-uniform work-groups.
</para>
<para>
Returns an event object that can be used by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>wait_group_events</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
to wait for the async copy to finish. The <varname>event</varname> argument can
also be used to associate the <function>async_work_group_strided_copy</function>
with a previous async copy allowing an event to be shared by multiple async copies;
otherwise <varname>event</varname> should be zero.
</para>
<para>
If <varname>event</varname> argument is non-zero, the event object supplied in
<varname>event</varname> argument will be returned.
</para>
<para>
This function does not perform any implicit synchronization of source data such as
using a <citerefentry><refentrytitle>barrier</refentrytitle></citerefentry> before
performing the copy.
</para>
<para>
The behavior of <function>async_work_group_strided_copy</function> is undefined
if <varname>src_stride</varname> or <varname>dst_stride</varname> is 0, or if the
<varname>src_stride</varname> or <varname>dst_stride</varname> values cause the
<varname>src</varname> or <varname>dst</varname> pointers to exceed the upper bounds
of the address space during the copy.

<para>
<function>async_work_group_copy</function> and
<function>async_work_group_strided_copy</function> for 3-component
vector types behave as <function>async_work_group_copy</function> and
<function>async_work_group_strided_copy</function> respectively for 4-component vector
types.
