- A `DeviceOrd` struct is implemented to indicate the device. It will eventually replace the `gpu_id` parameter.
- The `predictor` parameter is removed.
- Fallback to `DMatrix` when `inplace_predict` is not available.
- The heuristic for choosing a predictor is only used during training.
* 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.
- Rework the precision metric for both CPU and GPU.
- Mention it in the document.
- Cleanup old support code for GPU ranking metric.
- Deterministic GPU implementation.
* Drop support for classification.
* type.
* use batch shape.
* lint.
* cpu build.
* cpu build.
* lint.
* Tests.
* Fix.
* Cleanup error message.
Previously, we use `libsvm` as default when format is not specified. However, the dmlc
data parser is not particularly robust against errors, and the most common type of error
is undefined format.
Along with which, we will recommend users to use other data loader instead. We will
continue the maintenance of the parsers as it's currently used for many internal tests
including federated learning.
* Create pyproject.toml
* Implement a custom build backend (see below) in packager directory. Build logic from setup.py has been refactored and migrated into the new backend.
* Tested: pip wheel . (build wheel), python -m build --sdist . (source distribution)
- Fix prediction range.
- Support prediction cache in mt-hist.
- Support model slicing.
- Make the booster a Python iterable by defining `__iter__`.
- Cleanup removed/deprecated parameters.
- A new field in the output model `iteration_indptr` for pointing to the ranges of trees for each iteration.
* Implement multi-target for hist.
- Add new hist tree builder.
- Move data fetchers for tests.
- Dispatch function calls in gbm base on the tree type.
- The new implementation is more strict as only binary labels are accepted. The previous implementation converts values greater than 1 to 1.
- Deterministic GPU. (no atomic add).
- Fix top-k handling.
- Precise definition of MAP. (There are other variants on how to handle top-k).
- Refactor GPU ranking tests.
* Update to C++17
* Turn off unity build
* Update CMake to 3.18
* Use MSVC 2022 + CUDA 11.8
* Re-create stack for worker images
* Allocate more disk space for Windows
* Tempiorarily disable clang-tidy
* RAPIDS now requires Python 3.10+
* Unpin cuda-python
* Use latest NCCL
* Use Ubuntu 20.04 in RMM image
* Mark failing mgpu test as xfail
