- Use std::uint64_t instead of size_t to avoid implementation-defined type.
- Rename to bst_idx_t, to account for other types of indexing.
- Small cleanup to the base header.
* Use ptr from mmap for `GHistIndexMatrix` and `ColumnMatrix`.
- Define a resource for holding various types of memory pointers.
- Define ref vector for holding resources.
- Swap the underlying resources for GHist and ColumnM.
- Add documentation for current status.
- s390x support is removed. It should work if you can compile XGBoost, all the old workaround code does is to get GCC to compile.
- Pass context from booster to DMatrix.
- Use context instead of integer for `n_threads`.
- Check the consistency configuration for `max_bin`.
- Test for all combinations of initialization options.
* Fix CPU bin compression with categorical data.
* The bug causes the maximum category to be lesser than 256 or the maximum number of bins when
the input data is dense.
* Split up column matrix initialization.
This PR splits the column matrix initialization into 2 steps, the first one initializes
the storage while the second one does the transpose. By doing so, we can reuse the code
for Quantile DMatrix.
* Pass sparse page as adapter, which prepares for quantile dmatrix.
* Remove old external memory code like `rbegin` and extra `Init` function.
* Simplify type dispatch.
* Generate column matrix from gHistIndex.
* Avoid synchronization with the sparse page once the cache is written.
* Cleanups: Remove member variables/functions, change the update routine to look like approx and gpu_hist.
* Remove pruner.
This PR prepares the GHistIndexMatrix to host the column matrix which is used by the hist tree method by accepting sparse_threshold parameter.
Some cleanups are made to ensure the correct batch param is being passed into DMatrix along with some additional tests for correctness of SimpleDMatrix.
* Add hessian to batch param in preparation of new approx impl.
* Extract a push method for gradient index matrix.
* Use span instead of vector ref for hessian in sketching.
* Create a binary format for gradient index.
