cuda.core

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As of #1448, cuda.core.system exposes NVML events using a wait function with a timeout. The natural way to expose this to Python would be an async function, however, I'm wary of adding this functionality without a concrete use case and good testing. Filing this bug as a placeholder in case that arises.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #1448 and the existing wait-based NVML event API in cuda.core.system. A suitable contribution would need a concrete async use case, an agreed API design, and tests for the async behavior; this issue currently names none of those.
