If I understood correctly, this module allows you to export data to, and then access (read-only), foreign tables architected specifically for faster copying of data to/from GPU, allowing you to speed up queries that benefit from GPU computation by 10-20x. Nice.

That seems to be pretty much it, although the read-only part is a limitation of Postgres rather than a feature of the module.
Furthermore, it seems to be dispatching queries intelligently so you can perform all queries against the FDW table with (I hope) minimal overhead, if the qualifier can't be compiled to a kernel the fdw will run it as a normal on-CPU qualifier. That's a thoughtful touch.
On the surface, this seems very similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5592886 except it's nicely integrated with Postgres. Or am I missing something?
