DuckDB on the Apple Silicon GPU: Plain SQL, 19 of 22 TPC-H Queries on the Mac's Own GPU, and a Rule That Says Never Slower

DuckDB has no GPU backend of its own, and the GPU engines built for it need an NVIDIA card. gpudb 0.7 is my Apache-2.0 DuckDB extension for the GPU already inside your Mac, and for CUDA too. You write plain DuckDB SQL; the GPU takes a statement only where it has been measured faster than DuckDB on your own machine. On an Apple M4 Max, 19 of 22 TPC-H SF10 queries run on the Metal GPU at 1.06x to 48x with zero rows differing. The one row below parity is printed, not dropped.
