- Support resource view in ellpack.
- Define the CUDA version of MMAP resource.
- Define the CUDA version of malloc resource.
- Refactor cuda runtime API wrappers, and add memory access related wrappers.
- gather windows macros into a single header.
This PR replaces the original RABIT implementation with a new one, which has already been partially merged into XGBoost. The new one features:
- Federated learning for both CPU and GPU.
- NCCL.
- More data types.
- A unified interface for all the underlying implementations.
- Improved timeout handling for both tracker and workers.
- Exhausted tests with metrics (fixed a couple of bugs along the way).
- A reusable tracker for Python and JVM packages.
- Add a test for blocking calls.
- Do not require the queue to be empty after waking up; this frees up the thread to answer blocking calls.
- Handle EOF in read.
- Improve the error message in the result. Allow concatenation of multiple results.
* Update collective implementation.
- Cleanup resource during `Finalize` to avoid handling threads in destructor.
- Calculate the size for allgather automatically.
- Use simple allgather for small (smaller than the number of worker) allreduce.
- Use the array interface internally.
- Deprecate `XGDMatrixSetDenseInfo`.
- Deprecate `XGDMatrixSetUIntInfo`.
- Move the handling of `DataType` into the deprecated C function.

* 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.
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.
* [coll] Implement a new tracker and a communicator.
The new tracker and communicators communicate through the use of JSON documents. Along
with which, communicators are aware of each other.
