- thrust::copy() called from dvec::copy() for gpairs invoked a GPU kernel instead of
cudaMemcpy()
- this resulted in illegal memory access if the GPU running the kernel could not access
the data being copied
- new version of dvec::copy() for thrust::device_ptr iterators calls cudaMemcpy(),
avoiding the problem.
* Added GPU objective function and no-copy interface.
- xgboost::HostDeviceVector<T> syncs automatically between host and device
- no-copy interfaces have been added
- default implementations just sync the data to host
and call the implementations with std::vector
- GPU objective function, predictor, histogram updater process data
directly on GPU
- Implement colsampling, subsampling for gpu_hist_experimental
- Optimised multi-GPU implementation for gpu_hist_experimental
- Make nccl optional
- Add Volta architecture flag
- Optimise RegLossObj
- Add timing utilities for debug verbose mode
- Bump required cuda version to 8.0
* Fatal error if GPU algorithm selected without GPU support compiled
* Resolve type conversion warnings
* Fix gpu unit test failure
* Fix compressed iterator edge case
* Fix python unit test failures due to flake8 update on pip
