This is false. PG has a well defined and modular query engine. pgstrom works by replacing and adding modules which allow for GPU support.

You're right, I got confused with another Postgres-GPU plugin type product.

However, Postgres isn't columnar. How does PG-Strom (now HeteroDB) arrange data for the GPU properly?
