Concurrent Analytical Query Processing with GPUs

Summary: Exposes severe GPU underutilization (≤25%) in single-query database execution. Introduces concurrent GPU query processing with query scheduling and device-memory swapping, improving throughput by up to 55% over dedicated execution. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
