If you're interested in query compilation, check out the HyPer DBMS prototype at [1]. It efficiently compiles SQL (SQL92++) to super-fast LLVM code (faster than Vitesse). It's not open source, but you can download a binary [4] or try it out online using the "WebInterface" link and read about the query compiler here [2]. It also has lots of other goodies, like SIMD-powered CSV parsing (about 4x faster than Postgres) [3]. Rumor has it that the prototype will be commercialized soon ;)

EDIT: It also has NUMA-aware multi-threaded query execution.

Looks like the Vitesse product was inspired by this research. Even though the HyPer looks a lot more mature (though it's still a research project). Looking forward to see the product.
