- Implement a columnar adapter.
- Refactor Python pandas handling code to avoid converting into a single numpy array.
- Add support in R for transforming columns.
- Support R data.frame and factor type.
* Cleanup code for distributed training.
- Merge `GetNcclResult` into nccl stub.
- Split up utilities from the main dask module.
- Let Channel return `Result` to accommodate nccl channel.
- Remove old `use_label_encoder` parameter.
* Change default metric for gamma regression to deviance.
- Cleanup the gamma implementation.
- Use deviance instead since the objective is derived from deviance.
This PR adds optional support for loading nccl with `dlopen` as an alternative of compile time linking. This is to address the size bloat issue with the PyPI binary release.
- Add CMake option to load `nccl` at runtime.
- Add an NCCL stub.
After this, `nccl` will be fetched from PyPI when using pip to install XGBoost, either by a user or by `pyproject.toml`. Others who want to link the nccl at compile time can continue to do so without any change.
At the moment, this is Linux only since we only support MNMG on Linux.
- CUDA implementation.
- Extract the broadcasting logic, we will need the context parameter after revamping the collective implementation.
- Some changes to the event loop for fixing a deadlock in CI.
- Move argsort into algorithms.cuh, add support for cuda stream.
* [coll] Pass context to various functions.
In the future, the `Context` object would be required for collective operations, this PR
passes the context object to some required functions to prepare for swapping out the
implementation.
- Define a new data type, the proto file is copied for now.
- Merge client and communicator into `FederatedColl`.
- Define CUDA variant.
- Migrate tests for CPU, add tests for CUDA.
