Tobias Grosser 62acb344d0 [GPGPU] Synchronize after each kernel, not each copy out
Summary:
This change reduces the overall number of synchronize calls for kernels with
a lot of output data at the cost of additional synchronize calls for kernels
launched in sequence without any device to host transfers in between. As the
latter pattern is a lot less frequent, this seems a better tradeoff.

Even though the above motivation would be motivation enough, this is just
a step towards enabling ppcg to not compute to and from device copy calls
at all, which would be incorrect in case we still relied on these calls to
place our synchronization statements.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
