Description

Hello, would it be possible to add a usage example? I couldn't find one here, nor in the Dagger.jl docs.

For example, let's say I have the following task:

# two large matrices
A = rand(1000, 1000)
B = rand(1000, 1000)
# move them to gpu and multiply there
A_gpu = CUDA.Matrix(A) 
B_gpu = CUDA.Matrix(B)
C_gpu = A_gpu*B_gpu
# move back to cpu to use there.
C = Matrix(C_gpu) 

Intuitively, with Dagger, I'd just try to write it like this:

# two large matrices
A = rand(1000, 1000)
B = rand(1000, 1000)
# move them to gpu and multiply there
A_gpu = Dagger.@spawn CUDA.Matrix(A) 
B_gpu = Dagger.@spawn CUDA.Matrix(B)
C_gpu = Dagger.@spawn A_gpu*B_gpu
# move back to cpu to use there.
C = Dagger.@spawn Matrix(C_gpu) 

What role does DaggerGPU.jl play here? It seems I could even do this with just Dagger.jl?

Research direction

Review the existing Dagger.jl documentation and the Julia/CUDA usage shown in this issue. Explain what DaggerGPU.jl contributes compared with using Dagger.jl alone, and add a runnable GPU matrix example that makes the data movement and multiplication workflow clear.
