+    The `gpu.memcpy` operation copies the content of one memref to another.
+
+    The op does not execute before all async dependencies have finished
+    executing.
+
+    If the `async` keyword is present, the op is executed asynchronously (i.e.
+    it does not block until the execution has finished on the device). In
+    that case, it returns a !gpu.async.token.
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```mlir
+    %token = gpu.memcpy async [%dep] %dst, %src : memref<?xf32, 1>, memref<?xf32>
+    ```
