This is a pretty much no-op operator, since it's only purposes is make sure that
async_scheduling will schedule certian operations earlier than others.

Exaple where this operator can work well - mixture of data-parallel and model-
parallel training, where one wants to force that all copies are started before
data-parallel part starts.
