Description
I have a project where we compute a time step on the GPU and then asynchronously copy some data back to the host for later use. This copy overlaps with the subsequent time step which saves a ton of time. Now I need to compress the data that we save, which I plan to do on device before copying it back to the CPU. It would be nice if this compression could also be asynchronous so I could overlap it with other computation.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the CUDA-related entry points and the existing asynchronous copy and compression paths. Review how current GPU work is scheduled, then define the stream-aware behavior and verify that device compression and host copies can overlap with computation.
