OmniDB: Towards Portable and Efficient Query Processing on Parallel CPU/GPU Architectures

Summary: OmniDB proposes a kernel-adapter design for portable query processing on parallel CPU/GPU architectures. A unified qKernel captures core parallelization; architecture adapters expose hardware, enabling cross-architecture portability with reduced effort. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
