This makes GPU Hist robust in distributed environment as some workers might not
be associated with any data in either training or evaluation.
* Disable rabit mock test for now: See #5012 .
* Disable dask-cudf test at prediction for now: See #5003
* Launch dask job for all workers despite they might not have any data.
* Check 0 rows in elementwise evaluation metrics.
Using AUC and AUC-PR still throws an error. See #4663 for a robust fix.
* Add tests for edge cases.
* Add `LaunchKernel` wrapper handling zero sized grid.
* Move some parts of allreducer into a cu file.
* Don't validate feature names when the booster is empty.
* Sync number of columns in DMatrix.
As num_feature is required to be the same across all workers in data split
mode.
* Filtering in dask interface now by default syncs all booster that's not
empty, instead of using rank 0.
* Fix Jenkins' GPU tests.
* Install dask-cuda from source in Jenkins' test.
Now all tests are actually running.
* Restore GPU Hist tree synchronization test.
* Check UUID of running devices.
The check is only performed on CUDA version >= 10.x, as 9.x doesn't have UUID field.
* Fix CMake policy and project variables.
Use xgboost_SOURCE_DIR uniformly, add policy for CMake >= 3.13.
* Fix copying data to CPU
* Fix race condition in cpu predictor.
* Fix duplicated DMatrix construction.
* Don't download extra nccl in CI script.
* All Linux tests are now in Jenkins CI
* Tests are now de-coupled from builds. We can now build XGBoost with one version of CUDA/JDK and test it with another version of CUDA/JDK
* Builds (compilation) are significantly faster because 1) They use C5 instances with faster CPU cores; and 2) build environment setup is cached using Docker containers
* Improved multi-node multi-GPU random forests.
- removed rabit::Broadcast() from each invocation of column sampling
- instead, syncing the PRNG seed when a ColumnSampler() object is constructed
- this makes non-trivial column sampling significantly faster in the distributed case
- refactored distributed GPU tests
- added distributed random forests tests
