Curious to learn more as the specifics come out.

I am familiar with pg storm which was using pg FDW with CUDA, it had some pretty severe limitations last I looked, I also remember someone doing a sort implementation on cuda on the mailing list which was pretty slick, Tim Child also did some presentations(I never saw code personally, would love a link if anyone has), that was doing opencl as a procedural option which I think would still be really cool, and potentially easier to deal with as an extension where applicable.

I am going to be very interested to see what is possible with postgres 9.3 writable fdw and potentially something like this. May be that postgis will find its way to similar performance given access to the same tech.

35k loc is compact, cannot wait to see the code!
