- Rewrite GPU demos. notebook is converted to script to avoid committing additional png plots.
- Add GPU demos into the sphinx gallery.
- Add RMM demos into the sphinx gallery.
- Test for firing threads with different device ordinals.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
* 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.
* Support sklearn cross validation for ranker.
- Add a convention for X to include a special `qid` column.
sklearn utilities consider only `X`, `y` and `sample_weight` for supervised learning
algorithms, but we need an additional qid array for ranking.
It's important to be able to support the cross validation function in sklearn since all
other tuning functions like grid search are based on cross validation.
* 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
