This PR introduces a new parameter `extmem_concat_pages` to make the page concatenation optional for GPU hist. In addition, the document is updated for the new GPU-based external memory.
- Expose `NumBatches` in `DMatrix`.
- Small cleanup for removing legacy CUDA stream and ~force CUDA context initialization~.
- Purge old external memory data generation code.
* Cleanup GPU Hist tests.
- Remove GPU Hist gradient sampling test. The same properties are tested in the gradient
sampler test suite.
- Move basic histogram tests into the histogram test suite.
- Remove the header inclusion of the `updater_gpu_hist.cu` in tests.
- 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.
- 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.
* Prepare for improving Windows networking compatibility.
* Include dmlc filesystem indirectly as dmlc/filesystem.h includes windows.h, which
conflicts with winsock2.h
* Define `NOMINMAX` conditionally.
* Link the winsock library when mysys32 is used.
* Add config file for read the doc.
- Reduce dependency on dmlc parsers and provide an interface for users to load data by themselves.
- Remove use of threaded iterator and IO queue.
- Remove `page_size`.
- Make sure the number of pages in memory is bounded.
- Make sure the cache can not be violated.
- Provide an interface for internal algorithms to process data asynchronously.
- move segment sorter to common
- this is the first of a handful of pr's that splits the larger pr #5326
- it moves this facility to common (from ranking objective class), so that it can be
used for metric computation
- it also wraps all the bald device pointers into span.
