GPU Database Systems Characterization and Optimization

Summary: Cross-stack characterization of four GPU database systems exposes microarchitectural bottlenecks and resource underutilization via roofline analysis. Implementation tuning and MIG-aware resource allocation reduce latency 1.9× and improve concurrent throughput up to 6.5×. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
